1965 Apollo 5000 Gt
International Motors was founded in Oakland California in 1962 by engineer Milt Brown and stylist Ron Plescia a graduate of the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Their 1st and only model the Apollo was built using a ladder-type chassis that consisted of Buick-sourced front suspension and modified Buick four-link rear suspension. The chassis was skinned in a handsome and well-integrated body designed by Plescia and built in Italy by Carrozzeria Intermeccanica of Turin. Upon completion the bodies were then shipped to Oakland where they received final fitting and were mated with aluminum Buick engines of either 3.5 or 5 liter displacement. High-quality leather Borranni wire wheels Dunlop disc brakes and Jaeger instruments rounded out this well-built and high-quality grand touring car.
