Sergio Pininfarina Obituary
The company said Tuesday Pininfarina died overnight at his home in Turin. No cause of death was given.
The company founded in 1930 has designed cars for Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Cadillac and Volvo but is most closely associated with Ferrari, designing nearly all of its models since the 1950s.
It ceased making car bodies in 2010 to focus on its design and engineering businesses.
Pininfarina took over as president in 1966, upon the death of his father. He stepped down to become honorary president in 2006 and was also named a senator for life.
He is survived by his wife and two children.

I graduated from art school in Boston, 1964, I had a career in advertising but always wanted to work for GM styling. Sergio has always been the inspiration to how I approach design. He was the latter day Michelangelo to the present world. He will live on for thousands of years. Respectfully, Paul J. Collins

There is no replacement for a man like this. He means more to the industry and to Ferrari than most will ever know

Mr Pininfarina led a firm that produced automotive sculptures with the flair of an Italian artist.He hopefully was proud of his life's work.
As one who loves sports cars,thank you
