The only reference I see in Pat's Abarth book to Scaglione is in regard to the "highly aerodynamic coupe on a Fiat 1400 chassis in 1952"
|
To avoid misunderstandings, the Alfa-Abarth 1000 was presented November 1958 in the Torino Show.
If your book doesn't not mention explicit Scaglione as designer of our car, there is no contradiction to the fact that he actually was. Other sources do mention this connection.
Feel free to check:
Bertone 90 years by Lucciano Greggio p 68
Abarth, the man, the machines by Greggio p 150
Abarth Catalogue Raisonnée by Carlo Felice Zampini Salazar p 158
and already mentioned a 38 pages article in Het Klaverblaadje 68.
Using Google I found this scan of the car in its original shape:
