The Giulia Sprint GT holds a special place in car history: a model that clearly represents Alfa Romeo’s philosophy of the 1960s, built around engineering excellence, balanced proportions, and refined design. Introduced in 1963 and designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone, the Sprint GT brought with it a clean and modern design language: sharp lines,… Read More Black magic: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
After covering last week the story of the first Fiat Zagato 132 Aster Coupé from 1972, we return to one of the most fascinating and overlooked chapters of Italian automotive design with its evolution, unveiled at the 1973 Geneva Motor Show. Once again based on the Fiat 132 platform, the project was born from the… Read More Orange one-off: 1973 Fiat 132 Aster Coupé Prototype #02 by Zagato
This car was built in an era when Fiat truly knew how to make cars. The Fiat 1600S “OSCA” stands as the refined outcome of a remarkable collaboration between three giants of Italian motoring: Fiat, OSCA (Officine Specializzate Costruzioni Automobili, founded by the Maserati brothers), and Pininfarina. The result was a car that beautifully combined… Read More Twin cam coupé: 1964 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
The Fiat Zagato 132 Aster Coupé Prototype is a fascinating symbol of 1970s Italian automotive creativity. Presented at the 1972 Turin Motor Show, the Aster was the work of Carrozzeria Zagato’s head designer Giuseppe Mittino, who reimagined Fiat’s new 132 sedan into a striking two-door coupé. Mittino gave the car a bold wedge profile, a… Read More Green one-off: 1972 Fiat 132 Aster by Zagato
This Peugeot 203 Barchetta by Barbier is one of those rare postwar French specials that survived as a testament to a period when creativity and racing spirit went hand in hand. Built on the robust Peugeot 203 platform introduced in 1948, Barbier’s barchetta was conceived as a lightweight open sports car for hill climbs and… Read More Blue barchetta: 1951 Peugeot 203 Barchetta by Barbier
Sometimes life forces us to part with what we hold most dear. In this case, it is an original 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350, chassis number 137, now offered for sale after three years of careful ownership in Germany. The car is presented in largely original condition and still carries the unmistakable aura of Carroll Shelby’s… Read More Baby must go: 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350
There is something captivating about vintage milk delivery trucks, machines that reflect a time when daily life was shaped by simple routines and direct connections between producer and customer. Among the most iconic is the Divco milk truck, instantly recognizable for its rounded bodywork and stand-up driving position designed for multi-stop routes. The example shown… Read More Milkman’s dream: 1963 DIVCO 10B
Once again, we come across a (probably) unique example and—what a coincidence—this too was built by Stabilimenti Farina on a Fiat 1100B chassis, with aluminum bodywork. We don’t know the history of this particular car, but we can make a guess: many years ago it was damaged, perhaps in a rear-end collision (or by hitting… Read More Tough life: 1949 Fiat 1100B Coupé by Farina
This example is attractive as it belongs to the first-series short wheelbase models, produced from 1955 to 1959, before Alfa Romeo lengthened the chassis. From the few photos available, the car appears complete and in overall decent condition, with straight bodywork, original hubcaps, and a period-correct interior. However, no images of the engine bay, trunk,… Read More Low priced swb: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Among the icons of postwar Italian motoring, the Alfa Romeo 1900 stands out as a landmark model: the first Alfa built in series with a monocoque body, introduced in 1950 and soon offered in sportier and more elegant versions. The “C” designation of the 1900C Sprint Coupé can be interpreted in two ways: “Corto,” referring… Read More Gracefully styled: 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint Coupé by Pininfarina
