The name ‘Grifo’ is Italian for Griffin, the mythological beast that’s half lion and half eagle. The lion half represents the coat of arms of the Iso company’s founder, Renzo Rivolta, while the eagle represents the symbolic animal of the United States. This symbolic union is quite fitting for the Iso Grifo considering it was pure Italian beauty in design and style, coupled with the power of the mighty American V8.
The story of the Iso Grifo begins with the Italian born automotive brand, Iso, who started its life as ‘Iso Thermos’ producing heating, venting, and air conditioning products.
