Update, October 8: It seems that the car has been sold. It was quick but we’re not surprised at all. Flaminia week, definitely. We don’t like to publish two (almost) identical cars so close but this is too tasty to let it go. This Gunmetal (it should be “Grigio Newmarket”) 2.5 Coupè looks really good… Read More Gunmetal Style: 1967 Lancia Flaminia 2.5 GT Coupé by Touring
This Porsche 356 is said to be a 1965 “C” model: a quick check on the VIN number provided by the seller (#221373) confirms that. We like the blue of the paint which remind us a typical hot-rod shade. Needless to say that the Fuchs wheels fits always well on these cars. Interiors have been… Read More Gentle outlaw: 1965 Porsche 356 C
This Flaminia Coupé is a GTL model, it has an higher roof than the GT but it is a proper 2+2 and, last but not least, only 303 were made according to Touring Superleggera registry. However, this car is less valued than the GT model, and that’s why it’s generally worth the half. This particular… Read More Oily but solid: 1966 Lancia Flaminia 2.8 GTL Coupé by Touring
This 2nd series Fiat 600 still retains the suicide doors but, differently from european cars, has big headlights: it should be an official import car as italian cars had smaller headlights than those. The seller says that he used it to run smo SCCA events just for fun after being restored in Seattle. The interior… Read More Hawaiian green: 1958 Fiat 600
This 1932 three windows is said to be and original hot-rod which survived to the last sixty years. And we believe that’s the truth otherwise we should never make an article as we can’t stand fake hot rods. Indeed the seller has published a lot of period photo to bear witness about it: since then… Read More Automotive archeology: 1932 Ford Three Windows Coupé
Update, September 27: It seems that the car has been sold. Once we wrote that the classic car world never gets you bored as very often your certainties are questioned: this is another example.

The Maserati Sebring shape has a clear kindred with another car designed by Michelotti and built by Vignale: the Italia 2000. The proportions are quite the same along with some peculiar detail like the sloping roof and the protruding radiator grille shape. Apart from such elements, the Sebring is pushed, in this case, by a… Read More Italia’s big sister: 1965 Maserati Sebring II by Vignale
To be honest, we never heard of Mochet microcars (or cycle-cars) so far but what we see here is quite intriguing. The factory was established soon after WWI but the began to produce this car only in 1953. It has a two-stroke, single cylinder engine with a displacement of 125 c.c. which can push this… Read More Meep Meep: 1956 Mochet Type CM Grand Luxe
Update, September 23: We found again this car for sale here on eBay. Now the car should be in Dresden, Germany, with bidding at $1,420 and reserve not met. May 20 The Cisitalia 303F is strictly derived from the Fiat 1100 E: indeed “F” is for Fiat. Usually, Stabilimenti Farina have built most bodies for… Read More Light patina: 1952 Cisitalia 303F Coupé
France is definitely the place where to buy a Simca. This 1200S is painted in a very pleasant pale blue, very similar to the “Celeste Chiaro” used on its peer, the Maserati Ghibli (designed by Giugiaro as well), mated to a classic black interior, a typical color combo of late sixties. The seller says that… Read More Pale blue bargain: 1967 Simca 1200S by Bertone
