Avanti Elegance!

[mfg]

What are two good examples of what Raymond Loewy considered to be  “applied elegance” in car design ?

(Styling treatments he strongly disliked)

My guesses are,

No grill and

No excess chrome

You ‘nailed it’ with ‘excess chrome’!, However, the second item wasn’t a grille.… Although we do know that for the Avanti project Loewy did not want to see a conventional grille on the car.

Any other thoughts on that second item of ‘applied elegance’ ??

No flat panels?
