The miracle isn’t just in the car – though it’s stunning – but in the fact that this car you see painted in a brilliant tan and bronze color was once a complete wreck. If you have 10 minutes to spare, we recommend this article dedicated to the extensive restoration work done on this car.… Read More Tan miracle: 1934 DeSoto Airflow Brougham
We’ve seen many unique cars, but it’s the first time we’ve come across a muscle car used as a cop car. This 1970 Cuda was actually ordered brand new by a police officer who, in addition to including an enormous amount of optional extras (so much so that they had to add a second fender… Read More Cop car: 1970 Plymouth Cuda 340
We’ve always wondered what it would be like to drive a car the size of a slipper and the weight of a sofa, powered by a 289 cubic inch (4700 cc) V8 engine. It will probably be challenging to get an answer to such a question for two fundamental reasons: the first is that we… Read More 50 years owned: 1965 TVR Griffith 200
After the Second World War, Italy had to get back on its feet, and this necessarily involved the development of individual mobility. However, money was scarce, and it was necessary to find the most economical way to get people moving. Indeed, from the late 1940s and early 1950s in Italy, an interesting offering of Microcars… Read More Smaller than you think: 1946 Volugrafo Bimbo 46
It’s no secret that we have a soft spot for minivans (along with a soft spot for any other classic cars, let’s be honest), and this French specimen is in really good condition. This is a member of the Estafette line, born in 1959 and the ancestor of a lineage of light commercial vehicles whose… Read More Black and light: 1963 Renault Estafette 800
In fact, describing this car as “Rare” is somewhat understating it, as it appears to be a unique specimen. Actually, technically speaking, all these cars were “unique specimens” because they were vehicles produced exclusively on commission and with very specific requirements from the clients. Therefore, even for minor details, there were no two cars that… Read More More than rare: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
We don’t know how many of these specimens were produced, but we believe, with good reason, that there are very few of them, very few. Ghia-Aigle originally operated as a subsidiary of Carrozzeria Ghia, becoming independent in 1953 and temporarily located in Lugano (1954–58). Designers were mainly from Ghia, including Mario Boano (1948–51), Giovanni Michelotti… Read More Swiss chapter: 1956 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Ghia-Aigle
We don’t know about you, but we weren’t aware of the existence of this microcar, which was probably created to compete with the Isetta. The basic design is indeed identical: four wheels, a two-stroke engine, and front access are the main features that characterized the Italian microcar and were clearly borrowed from this Zundapp, a… Read More Never seen one: 1957 Zündapp Janus
It often happens to come across special cars built as unique specimens by a well-known coachbuilder, but how often does one of these cars belong to the coachbuilder himself? This is one such occasion. Indeed, this is the personal car of Giuseppe “Nuccio” Bertone, built in 1947 on the basis of a 1936 Fiat 500B.… Read More Four editions: 1936/1947 Fiat 500B Sport by Bertone
If we come across one for sale, we can’t help but post it, almost as if it were a moral duty. In reality, the reason is simple, or rather, there are two reasons: the first is that we are fascinated by the small Italian cars built by master coachbuilders of the last century, the second… Read More Another one: 1955 Fiat 600 Coupé by Monterosa
