He had a Dastun connection. I've read that he had design input into the 410/411 sedans/wagons.

Big changes for 1964. Replacing the English inspired design of the 310/311/312 series was an all new shape by the Italian designer Pininfarina. New too was the unitary construction of the body, rather than the seperate chassis of the previous model. It continued to use the same 1189cc 60hp OHV 4cyl. E-1 engine as the P312. This model has a grille with 4 groups of 3 horizontal bars and 6 vertical bars. The grille has a large round emblem with a gold 'D' in the middle. Tail lights have a large round stop light. Available in 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan (P410) and 5 door wagon (WP410).
