April 26, 2012

H ow important is men’s fashion this spring and summer? Very! At the

Dubai World Cup, there’s actually a feature consisting of a men’s pa-rade to choose the Best Dressed. Here in the U.S., we are fascinated with the striking looks of men, not just women, on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. Co-lin Firth looked proper and had everything right. Tom Hanks ex-uded double-breasted confidence. Jean Dujer-din was dapper in updated classic and Christopher Plummer was confident in velvet. Jonah Hill stood out with black on black breaking all the rules.

This year, more than ever, men’s trends coincide with wom-en’s. Even the men’s palette is similar to women’s – bright and

playful – according to the Pan-tone Color Fashion Report.

Yellow and orange continue to make a statement and brave colors like tangerine tango and solar pow-er are perfect confidence boosters. Combined with sodalite blue, they create a more balanced look. Star-fish (tan) is a safer, subdued look. Spring and summer evoke feelings of calm ocean waters and tranquil beach vacations. Vivid Hawaiian ocean adds sparkle to any attire. Put it with dazzling blue to lift the basic blues to new heights. Vin-tage khaki is timeless yet quintes-sential classic and is best paired with granita, a full-bodied, robust deep red. Breezy Tradewinds cre-ates the perfect combination for spring with dazzling blue and grass green. Sporty yet classic golf green is sure to be a hit in active sportswear.

Trends in Europe and the U.S. agree this season. Men are enthu-siastic about what’s on the runway and in stores. Last year’s accent

colors are this year’s focus. Think yellow and orange again. Think

masculine with bold and vivid. Monochromatic is strong. (Max Martinez wore a vivid red suit to his own recent fashion

show.) Fabrics are rich in style, color and texture. Above all, don’t forget the fit. A great tailor is a tremendous asset to any ward-robe.

MORE TIPS-Bold prints-Checks in subtle hues-White and camel linen for easy

chic-The white shirt still reigns as a

staple-Iridescence-Soft tailoring: unlined jackets,

boxy jackets, hybrid shirt/jacket

-New proportions: shorter blazers and trousers /cropped pants

Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

Watching old movies from the ‘30s and ‘40s when I was younger and developing an interest in costume and fashion history.

Do you have a fashion icon? Who?

Too many to mention: Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Edward-The Duke of Windsor...etc....

Favorite designer? Polo by Ralph Lauren- his

clothes are timeless and each piece transcends current fads and follies.

How would you describe your style? Favorite color?

Classic, town and country, bespoke. I like blues and greens the best....

Does your career influence your style?

Yes, as a scenery designer, I am exposed to wide array of influences from the historical past, cultures and “worlds” that exist only in the imagination.

The 2012 ‘Men’s Best Dressed List’

Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

Growing up in South America where my father worked at the American Embassy, I remember he was always impeccably dressed and groomed in his business suits – as was my mother at all times – they programmed a sense of style in me from a young age.

Do you have a fashion icon? Who?

As an actor and politician, President Ronald Reagan knew that looking his very best was essential to career success.

Favorite designer?My favorite designers are Calvin

Klein, Ermenegildo Zegna and

Hugo Boss – all of whom design clothes that are ideal for today’s professional.

How would you describe your style? Favorite color?

I would describe my style as classic conservative. My favorite colors are black and blue because of their versatility and adaptability from business to cocktail or to a casual look in a hurry.

Does your career influence your style?

Yes – I have spent my entire career in branding and marketing roles where the “wrapper” of a product is very important, and if we think of ourselves as a “product” and our clothes as the wrapper, it doesn’t take long to realize that looking better than everyone else is essential to success.

Where do you like to shop? Especially locally?

Other than my favorite shops in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile and in Newport Beach, Calif. Locally, I tend to frequent Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack and the Saks’ outlet - Off 5th.

Have you ever had a stylist or personal shopper?

I have not – and since I am a stylist, I am very good at helping men find the styles that best suit their lifestyles and their brands.

What is your most comfortable ensemble when you don’t have an audience?

Golf clothes and running gear are not only comfortable but also very stylish, so when I’m not sporting my best-tailored suits, I can be seen in Nike and Adidas sportswear.

What would readers be surprised to know about you?

I know how to sew.

Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

In my line of work, you have to dress smart without being too trendy.

Do you have a fashion icon? Who?

Ralph Lauren

Favorite designer?Ralph Lauren

How would you describe your style? Favorite color?

Business casual/blue

Does your career influence your style?

Yes, but I wish I could report and anchor in sweats.

Where do you like to shop? Especially locally?

Ted’s Clothiers in Englewood

Have you ever had a stylist or personal shopper?

No

What is your most comfortable ensemble when you don’t have an audience?

Athletic shorts and a T-shirt

What would readers be surprised to know about you?

I wear a different wristwatch every day (none is very expensive, I just like watches). I’d rather go camping in jeans than go out to dinner in a suit.

The 2012 ‘Men’s Best Dressed List’Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

My mother always dressed my older brother and I when we were little – she has been my biggest influence.

Do you have a fashion icon? Who?

Bryant Gumbel and Cary Grant are two men that I admire for their personal style.

fabrication and styling.

How would you describe your style?

Modern tailored for city living. Favorite color? Navy

Does your career influence your style?

Absolutely, fortunately for me, I work at Nordstrom.

Where do you like to shop? Especially locally?

Nordstrom, Nordstrom and Nordstrom.

Have you ever had a stylist or personal shopper?

I work on a daily basis with the best stylists I could ask for in our store – we have a personal stylist team at Nordstrom Park Meadows and they are simply the best in the business.

What is your most comfortable ensemble when you don’t have an audience?

I love to wear my AG dark denim jeans ( I can dress them up or down) and pair them with an Agave tee and a Hugo Boss half-zip pull-over – (extremely versatile) shoes – depending on where I going, either my John Varvatos leather converse One Star or my Ferragamo loafers.

What would readers be surprised to know about you?

My wardrobe is not huge or overwhelming. I make sure that the items I have in my closets can

be worn in many different ways/different looks – when working with our salespeople in the store, I always make it a point to ask what else can I wear this with?

Nancy Puckett

The 2012 ‘Men’s Best Dressed List’Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

Fashion blogs and photography.

Do you have a fashion icon?

Who?I look for style influence from

bands, such as The Smiths and Nirvana, and models such a Cole Mohr.

Favorite designer? Christopher Bailey for Burberry

Prorsum

How would you describe your style? Favorite color?

I have a different style every-day…. It’s hard to describe it. My favorite color is black.

Does your career influence your style?

Yes, European street style has al-ways influenced me.

Where do you like to shop? Especially locally?

I enjoy shopping in thrift stores…. It’s more to me if it’s a rare piece to find. Locally Arc or Buffalo Exchange.

Have you ever had a stylist or personal shopper?

The stylist that I will come across would be in for a photo shoot. I do my own personal shopping.

What is your most comfortable ensemble when you don’t have an audience?

My most comfortable ensemble would be track shorts, perfect to re-lax in.

What would readers be sur prised to know about you?

I am a founder of my own fashion company.

Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

Billy Dee Williams, Denzel Wash-ington, plus I always wanted to look good.

Do you have a fashion icon? Who?Armani

Favorite designer?Kenneth Cole

Classy, dress to kill

Favorite color?Black, green and lavender

Does your career influence your style?

Yes, if you cannot be a great doctor, then look like one.

Where do you like to shop? Espe-cially locally?

Moda, Saks, Nordstrom

Have you ever had a stylist or per-sonal shopper?

Yes, my wife.

What is your most comfortable ensemble when you don’t have an audience?

Scrubs

What would readers be surprised to know about you?

I have one of the finest African American art collections in the coun-try. I was in charge of the church for two years in the absence of the pastor (chairman of the Deacon Board).

Who inspired you or what got you interested in fashion?

I’m not into “fashion” - I don’t think I would enjoy sitting at a fash-ion show during fashion week. I do like to dress well and do think that we have become too casual in dress.

Do you have a fashion icon? No but I think Hardy Aimes’ quote,

“A man should look as if he has bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care and then for-gotten all about them” describes my thoughts on dressing and my style.

Favorite designer?I don’t have one. I’ve been lucky

enough to receive a number of cus-tom fit dress shirts from Hamilton over the years – and those are one of my favorite things. If a shirt maker can be considered a designer – Ham-ilton is mine.

Classic with a few modern twists

Favorite color? Blues

Does your career influence your style?

Yes. I like wearing suits and I ap-preciate that I have a job that I get to dress up each day.

Have you ever had a stylist or personal shopper?

No

What is your most comfortable ensemble when you don’t have an audience?

Jeans or Chinos and a button down

What would readers be surprised to know about you?

My 3-year-old helps me pick out my pocket square each morning be-fore I go to work.

Fashion authority Marylou Luther offered a trend overview for Fashion Group International from the runways of New York, London, Milan and Paris.

“If fashion is a barometer of the times, we’re in for a colorful, spir-ited, happy-go-lucky spring/summer 2012. Or…We’re in denial mode.”

By ignoring the economic turn-down, the European monetary crisis, Arab revolutions, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and technological over-load, designers are either telling us to eat, drink and be merry or escape to the safety of the ‘20, ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s.

In New York, London and Mi-lan, dazzling colors predominated. In Paris, chalky pales and pastels. Blush tones and 10 degrees of gray and cream looked fresh and less at-tention-crazed. White is the right of spring in all major fashion capitals, with fashion’s black knight, Rick Owens, leading the new explorations of white nights.

Prints are hugePrints leave their mark on every-

thing from florals (Isaac Mizrahi’s hothouse peonies), Jason Wu’s pet-als and Proenza Schoeler’s leaves to birds winging it at Carolina Herrera.

Scarf prints made a comeback at Pucci and Ferragamo. Photo prints look picture perfect at Betsey John-son, Dries Van Noten and Manish Arora.

As luxury ready-to-wear edges into haute cou-ture pieces, so does the w o r k m a n -ship. Fine dressmaking details such as hand sew-ing, artful embroider-ing precision b e a d w o r k , pleating and draping are e s p e c i a l l y apparent at Rucci, Sarah Burto for A l e x a n d e r M c Q u e e n , Van Noten, Gurung, Aq-uilano Ri-mondi, Louis Vuitton, Ro-darte, Bill Gaytten for Dior and Galliano, Rodolfo Paglial-unga for Vionnet and Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli for Valentino. Special kudos for Ralph Lauren for his sensuous bias cuts.

From the smallest ruffle atop a pair of pants at Preen to pouffed ex-aggerations at Gareth Pugh, the pep-lum makes the hips hip again. Vera Wang’s peplum purview includes

peplums on coats, jackets, corsets, vests, shorts, and most inventive of all, a peplum belt. Thakoon, who started puffing the hips last season,

once again proves that stuff-ing the hips is the stuff of fashion.

Sporty-likeFashion’s new sports

message begins with the Inu-it. Anoraks and parkas score as well as the motorcycle jacket, track pants, sweats and warm-ups. Utility jack-ets with mesh insets also look like winners.

Fashion’s sweet spot be-gins with lace: Alençon lace, Battenburg lace, Brussels lace, Chantilly lace, Vene-tian lace and lace’s sisters crochet and macramé. These airy openwork fabrics are the networks that broadcast the news of delicacy and refine-ment.

ElegantThe bra, created in 1907,

had one of its biggest fash-ion outings for spring. The bra-vado began with uplift-

ings at Betsey Johnson, Anna Sui, Ricci, Dolce & Gabbana, Aquilano Rimondi, Roland Mauret, Pucci and of course, with the father of the bul-let bra – Jean Paul Gathier.

For evening – watch for long dresses with unexpected wraps: A sweater at Rachel Zoe, a leather jacket at Lyn Devon and a trench at Thakoon. For the red carpet, the win-

ner is Don O’Neill’s petal gown for Theia, made with gardens of laser-cut habutai silk petals, each secured to a tulle base with a glass bead that graduates in seven sizes from bodice to hem.

Don’t forget the shoesThe shoe of the season is the

wedge, followed by pointy-toe pumps, ankle bands and gleaming specchios. Loafers are the flats most likely to succeed.

Accessories White bags are white hot. Color

is at hand. Color blocking is major. Mixed media is another message. And shoes that match the clothes

they are worn with express the cou-ture-culture of the season.

Heads up for hats and a spe-cial hats-off to Patricia Underwood whose Jazz Age cloches for Lauren set new standards for his game. Ja-cobs’ ‘do rags are also ‘20s-minded.

Pearls are sea-worthy at Cha-nel where they appear in the hair as well as at the neck and see-worthy at Browne where one strand loops to the ankles. Vintage-inspired jewelry looks auction-worthy at Prada, de la Renta and Lauren. And for an heir-loom worth chewing on, there’s Dol-ce & Gabbana’s farfalle necklace.

Makeup Bold, Brooke Shields-like brows

frame the face of spring. More refined high brows are also quietly present. The eyes have it from midnight blue lids at Rodarte to Art Deco eyes with black lids at Gucci. Scarlet lips speak volumes at Jason Wu effected first by outlining the lips with M.A.C. Redd pencil, then applying Scarlet Ibis lipstick with a dash of M.A.C.’s Pig-ment in Neo Orange on top.

Sleek hairHigh-voltage color electrifies the

hair. Crayola shades star at Narcisco Rodriquez and Thakoon. In keeping with the sea theme in clothes, waves of wet-looking hair came ashore at Alexander Wang and sleek wet chignons brought back memories of Kim Novak and The Big Tease. Could backcombing be coming back?

Dr. Richard Heppe, one of the original founders of The Urology Center of Colorado

By Scottie taylor iverSon

While we have the attention of men and the women in their lives, we wanted

to take this opportunity to educate our readers about one of the most important issues of men’s health. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men and will claim 30,000 lives this year. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Colorado today. Prostate cancer often runs in families, but not always. There is no prevention. We were privileged to sit down for a one-on-one with Dr. Richard Heppe, a renowned Denver urologist and one of the original founders of The Urology Center of Colorado - a state-of-the-art facility – in Denver.

At what age should men be screened for prostate cancer?

If there is a family history - age 40, if not - age 50. A good approach would be every year after age 50. Some recommend if annual screening is going to start at 50, then men should be checked at age 40 and 45 as well.

What does a prostate cancer screening entail?

Screening merely consists of an annual physical exam with a blood test measuring prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels. Men tend to avoid health care. Most health care decisions are made by women who should encourage their spouses or loved ones to make the appointment. Prostate cancer also tends to be silent. If one waits until symptoms occur, there may only be one to two years left to live.

Why has there been so much controversy over annual prostate cancer screenings for men? Should men really be screened for this type of cancer?

There were two studies that took place several years ago to see if prostate cancer screening affected survival, one in the U.S. and one in Europe. Both studies had significant flaws, which made their results doubtful.

Prostate cancer is a serious disease and kills many. There are those who can be observed and don’t need aggressive treatment. If aggressive treatment is needed, we can save lives. Without screening, we don’t know how to treat. What is factual is that the

death rate since screening began, roughly in 1980, has dropped 40 percent.

Are there any signs or symptoms of prostate cancer?

Generally not until the cancer has advanced locally or spread to other parts of the body. One may experience bone pain, difficulty urinating or blood in the urine.

Prostate cancer is sometimes referred to as an old man’s disease. Is that changing?

Prostate cancer does become more common as men age but it can be diagnosed in men in their 30s. It is important to note that the cancer tends to be more aggressive in younger patients.

What treatment options are available for someone who is diagnosed with prostate cancer?

There are several: • One treatment could be just

active surveillance – keeping a close eye on the patient to make sure the cancer does not start to progress.

• There are cures through surgery to remove the prostate using the latest technology including robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery.

• Radiation therapy, including intensity modulated radiation therapy, brachytherapy (radiation seeds), cyberknife or proton beam, is another option.

• Other treatments include cryotherapy (freezing of prostate tissue) and high intensity focused ultrasound.If the cancer has spread,

therapies can slow or shrink but not cure prostate cancer. Management begins with hormone therapy (prostate cancer is stimulated by testosterone), chemotherapy and there is a new vaccine available, Provenge, that may offer significant benefit to patients.

What does TUCC offer prostate cancer patients that cannot be found anywhere else? Why should someone choose TUCC for their prostate cancer treatment?

We offer a fully integrated program for diagnosis and treatment – a rare model given that there are only a handful of other practices in the country that offer the same breadth of services - and we are one of the largest west of the Mississippi. That means all the work is done in our own center under our own roof including blood work, biopsies, pathology and any treatment needed. For example, because we have our own pathology lab, we can biopsy a patient and usually have the results in 24 hours. Our diagnosis and treatment model also means we have more quality control. We offer all the ancillary services that a patient might need during the journey - physical therapy, support groups for men and their loved ones, frequent seminars on nutrition and exercise, other interventions for recovery and a holistic approach to treatment. There’s no need for patients to travel elsewhere to receive these services.

Our surgeons are highly trained and perform at high volumes using the most advanced technology

– so they are extremely good at what they do. We have established a multidisciplinary tumor board to review difficult cases. A medical oncologist is also on site to discuss chemotherapy with patients if necessary. The TUCC Clinical Research Department provides patients with access to cutting edge technologies and treatments. One of our doctors is actually double board certified in urology and radiation oncology – a rare skill set.

TUCC serves the entire Rocky Mountain Region. Our location is just one stop sign off I-25 and parking is easy. Our staff members, from the greeter to the last person a patient talks with, are happy, love what they do and enjoy taking care of people. When our group came together in 2004 and opened the center in 2006, our goal was to become the Mayo Clinic of urology in the Rocky Mountain region. Today, our mission – excellence in urology – continues to drive all of our decisions.

TUCC offers a monthly patient support group for prostate cancer patients and their loved ones. How does this type of group benefit a patient going through treatment?

The prostate cancer support group is very well attended. The main value is that men realize that they are not alone in the journey and that is comforting. Many have questions to ask other patients, wives may ask questions of other wives and many have questions that they would not even ask of their own doctor. Valuable information is shared by physicians, therapists and nutritionists.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

There’s another amazing story about TUCC – our management of kidney stones. Because we have our own CT scan and lithotripter (shock wave machine that pulverizes stones), we can often diagnose and treat patients on the same day, resulting in a rapid return to normal activity.

AN AWARD-WINNING PUBLICATION OF THE VILLAGER NEWSPAPER

By Scottie taylor iverSon

You have heard the theme song – Mondo, Mondo, Mondo on local media outlets since our own Mondo was featured in the competition of Season 8 on Lifetime’s Project Runway. We can now say we knew him when. Those of us who followed the show, thought our own darling Mondo was robbed when he was not the winner of the competition after consistently being in the Top 3 each week. His extraordinary choice and mix of fabrics and patterns clearly set him apart. Earlier this spring – there was justice, however.

As one of 13 Project Runway veterans, Mondo competed in the challenges of the Project Runway All Stars. The purpose was to prove the designers still had what it took to rock the runway. Mondo rocked it and won it! The prize package included an exclusive designer’s boutique in select Neiman Marcus stores.

During Season 8, Mondo emotionally revealed his positive status and has rallied valuable support as a result. He has traveled extensively for HIV/Aids advocacy while designing collections for fashion weeks in major U.S. cities and, of course, worked on creating his own brand.

From humble beginnings, the self-taught artist was a millinery

apprentice, designed for an NYC junior wear company and was a costume designer for the Arvada Center. He won several Denver design competitions before setting his sights on Project Runway.

See what media has said about Denver’s Mondo (upper right):

N o moss grows under Nathalia Faribault. The entrepreneur and image

consultant has scored again with the invention of the “Birdie Belt” that is licensed to Glove It, the golf and sports accessories company for women. She still owns the patent and trademark for the clever belt with an expandable pocket for the extra ball, holders for tees, scorecard, divot repair tool and even a hidden secured zipper for credit cards and cash.

Presently, the “one size fits most” accessory comes in two colors of bling – silver (as in the photograph) and bronze with rivets. These retail for about $40. There’s also a black houndstooth ultrasuede pattern and brown giraffe print retailing for about $35. Of course there’s a myriad of matching gloves, visors, hats, golf bags and more at www.gloveit.com.

Faribault is a member of Fashion Group International of Denver and was featured in The Villager’s 2010 STILETTO Mile High Haute edition on the Best Dressed List.

T he reality is that it’s rarely fea-sible to tackle an entire home improvement project in one

fell swoop. It can also be surpris-ingly expensive to renovate an out-dated or dysfunctional landscape. The good news is that you may not have to dig into every nook and cranny in order to make dramatic changes to the way you experience your landscape. Often times, a pa-tio makeover is all it takes to extend your home and enjoy the wonderful Colorado outdoors!

We all know that the economy took a nosedive on us and our lend-ers are no longer willing to lever-age themselves on the equity of every lawn mower and weed trim-mer in the garage. Because of that, we are finding that folks are getting smart about how to renovate their landscapes. Here is a step-by-step approach to your landscape reno-vation project:

Step 1: Determine what areas are the most in need of attention

Thoughtfully addressing this is-sue will determine how to approach a landscape renovation project. Your project will have the most immediate impact if you address the areas most frequently used or

create the biggest problem. Usually this involves your patio or outdoor living space. And, if you find that you aren’t taking advantage of your patio or back yard, perhaps that could change with some profes-sional advice.

Step 2: Develop a master landscape plan

It is important to address the en-tire landscape and the laundry list of items outlined in step 1 holisti-cally. This doesn’t mean that the entire list needs to be remedied in one project, but it’s best to coordi-nate the design of all the elements simultaneously to avoid the hodge-podge of ideas and materials that many landscapes feature today. When the entire project is finally realized, the end result culminates the vision as it was originally seen and all the pieces, implemented over time, fit together seamlessly.

Step 3: Outline a plan of attack

Once the master landscape plan is complete, it’s time to make choic-es about how to phase the project over time. Whether the phasing will take place over the course of one year or 10 years, there is an order of operations for the work.

Typically, the infrastructure, or hardscape elements get addressed first. If there are many hardscape elements, such as a patio with a fireplace or water feature, for ex-ample, it is possible to implement the patio project first and, perhaps, approach the fireplace or water fea-ture the following year.

The key to phasing a project is to plan ahead so elements that are completed in one phase do not have to be modified in subsequent phas-es. In the example above, it would be intelligent to stub the natural gas water line under the patio portion of phase 1 in preparation for phase 2. That way, it isn’t necessary to remove part of the patio down the road to install the gas or water lines.

Step 4: Put your new landscape to use

Now that you’ve got the patio in place, it’s time to revisit the master plan and start dreaming about that beautiful fireplace or water feature that will enhance your outdoor liv-ing room. And, don’t worry, those planning to add that finishing ‘je ne sais quoi’ can come in phase 3.

By H. THroTTle

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and what better way to spend it than to go test-drive a Maserati sedan at

Maserati of Denver in Highlands Ranch. Add Bentley and Lotus to the stable of classic cars lo-cated on a hilltop at County Line Road – past University Boulevard heading westward – and you’ve got yourself a fine dealership.

A small driveway leads to a thousand points of light on a hill-top, but in this instance they are newly created headlights on an abundant inventory of luxury au-tomobiles.

The mission of the morn-ing was to test drive a Maserati for this “Gents” section of The Villager. The upscale Villager newspaper subscribers love Bent-ley, Ferrari, Porsche and Maserati brands that reside in their multi-car garages and luxury homes.

Villager advertising execu-tive Linda Kehr arranged the test drive, and I was to meet Mark Dismuke, general manager, for a test drive.

Arriving on a Saturday, a holy day in the car sales business, I was greeted with open arms and escorted to Dismuke’s office.

I discovered that he grew up in Grand Lake, graduated from Mesa State University in Grand Junction, skied at Powderhorn and now makes his home in Lone Tree where he drives a Maserati Quattroporte S himself. He was an instant like and has a warm, down to earth, friendly person-ality. Selling these prestigious bevies of luxury automobiles has refined his character in a charm-ing way.

I chose the four-door sedan because many couples in the

Villages go out to charitable events with guests, so a full size sedan is just very practical. How-ever, driving away in front of me, in a red Ferrari convertible, was a chap with a baseball hat and a blonde headed to the 470 free-way, never caught up to them in my drive.

The test car was a used Mase-rati with 34,000 miles and in mint condition; the motor had that wonderful rumble from the 430-hp engine that is capable of race track speeds and performance.

Apparently Ferrari and Mase-rati are friends, and Ferrari manu-factures some engines and trans-missions for Maseratsi in facto-ries a few miles from each other in Italy.

The interior of the car is richly appointed with prestigious pol-ished Starwood, Vavona and Wenge woods. Owners can cus-tomize their choice of woods with inlays.

Poltrona Frau leather seats fol-low time-honored expertise mak-ing the leather extremely soft, and hardwearing.

The engines are 4.7-liter units and centered in the car design further back with the six-speed variable transmission on the rear of the car giving almost a perfect driving balance to the Maserati. This engineered feature proved true on the road with the car hav-ing a perfect handling and feel of the road.

The ride was more than com-fortable with a double wishbone suspension with forged aluminum arms and hubs, and the Sports version has been upgraded with more designs. The chuckholes in County Line Road were almost lost in the smooth ride on those 14-way adjustable and soft leath-

er bucket seats.The Italian auto makers have

kept up with all of the latest technology in brakes, advanced LED lighting, transmissions and

motors time tested on world rac-ing tracks.

There is a very nice inventory of Maseratis, and new Ferraris are back order right now, but there

are plenty other classic cars that await any Saturday morning tire kicker or purchaser.

Ask for Mark Dismuke, and you’ll be treated well.
