If this design looks familiar to you, we have the explanation: this car is the smaller version of the ‘Supergioiello’ based on Alfa Romeo, which we have previously featured.

Both were designed by the genius Michelotti for the Ghia coachbuilder, which produced a significant number (relatively speaking, of course—we are talking about 10-15 units at most) of cars with this distinctive—and beautiful, we must add—design. It is important to emphasize that we are talking about a car from 1950: to get an idea of the stylistic difference of these cars, try searching online for cars presented worldwide that same year, and you’ll see they look decades behind.

Beyond its beauty, this is an extremely rare car (we don’t know if it’s unique, but we think it is very close to being so), and it seems to have been restored with great attention to detail. If we had to guess, we would say it was restored about 20 years ago, but it still appears to be in excellent shape. In fact, the seats might even be original, as well as the very rare hubcaps.
