Fissore was one of the most famous coachbuilder in Torino, in the years between 1921 and 1976. Differently from other coachbuilder of the same era, he was focused on building commercial vehicles, however he didn’t dislike to build touring cars for the upper-middle class, mostly on the epic Fiat 1100-103 chassis and engine, like this… Read More Art Déco grille: 1955 Fiat 1100-103 TV by Fissore

Few words to describe this car. The seller says that he found it, that the car is… Read More Found, simply: 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT
It’s almost puzzling to see a special 1100-103 Fiat built by a not-italian coachbuilder, but in this case we’re just before such case: this car has been built by german coachbuilder Wendler, the same guy who built the bodies of the Porsche RS 61 and some beautiful Volkswagen-based cars. This car is said to be… Read More Lateral thinking: 1953 Fiat 1100-103 by Wendler
This Alfa Romeo recreation is based on a 1950 6C 2500 engine and chassis, plus other period components. In our opinion this car should be a tribute to her famous relative, the 1938 8C 2900 Mille Miglia by Touring coachworks, although the front grille looks like the one installed on the 2300 Pescara. The seller… Read More Silver screens: 1950 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 recreation

The seller says also that since then the car had some bodywork around… Read More Original tires: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
We are not Lancia experts so we can’t spot any typical sign which makes the difference between a 3rd and a 4th series of the B20 breed. Obviously, the main difference is about the rear suspensions system: much complex on the first three series. Just for this reason, it was abandoned (it was much more… Read More Unsure series: 1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 Coupé
The seller doesn’t specify the year of this stunning Appia Zagato but, because it says that this car is a “passo corto” (s.w.b.), we can deduce that this car is at least from 1961, the first production year of this model. The red – perfect – paint should be the “Rosso Arcoveggio” shade which perfectly… Read More Amadori equipped: 1961 Lancia Appia Sport “Passo corto” by Zagato
This car has been built in consequence of the late ’60’s beat wave, when many builders tried to replicate the style and lines of the pre-war cars: just think at the Siata Spring and at the Gamine built by Vignale. This car was an idea of the most sold italian car magazine, Quattroruote (still existing… Read More Son of beat: 1967 Alfa Romeo 1750 GS Quattroruote by Zagato
This week we have here another delivery van: a 1957 Lancia Appia “Furgoncino”. These cars were often set up in this way to be sold to various companies, especially mechanics-related producers and distributors. These vans were not built by coachbuilders but by Lancia factory. They had a lower power than the sedan version, but a… Read More Style delivery: 1957 Lancia Appia C80S 2nd series
