With Giorgio Alberti, he bought the Carrozzeria Ghia in Torino when their friend Giacinto Ghia died (1944). At Ghia he and Luigi Segre were central in several low-roofline designs; the Alfa Romeo 2500 CC, Lancia Aurelia (1950), Karmann Ghia (1953), Chrysler K200, Alfa Romeo 1900SS, and some Ferrari 166 of berlinetta style. He is also credited with Lancia Aurelia GT coupe design.

He founded Carrozzeria Boano in Grugliasco (1954–57) with his son Gian Paolo Boano, and took over some of Ferrari 250 GT production from Pininfarina. Starting in 1957, he worked under Dante Giacosa for Fiat in their Turin styling department, creating the Fiat 600 and the square style of Simca 1000 (1960).
