“What am I looking at, exactly?” It is the phrase that most often comes to the mind of anyone who observes this car for the first time, one of the most innovative cars of the 1960s in general, and certainly the most innovative car of the American car industry of those years. We ourselves have… Read More American oddball: 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2
As often happens – far too much, actually – we are talking about a rare car that hardly appears on the market, and here is another one after only one week. Two cars that are part of a single batch of about 300 specimens, on sale simultaneously after more than sixty years are a curious… Read More Two of few: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Primavera by Boano
“They are still out there,” a user of a forum to which I was subscribed (and occasionally I still attend) used to say. He said it ten years ago but it is clear that that statement is still valid. The proof is this 250 GTE first series found in exceptional conditions maintained by the last… Read More Patina monster/5: 1961 Ferrari 250 GTE
For all those who are not profound connoisseurs of the classic Volkswagen models, the naming convention of the different models can be confusing. In the specific case, here we are facing a Type 34.

We are well aware that not everyone is passionate about this car, in fact, many have a true repulsion for it. Yet, we can certainly say that there is an automotive world before Typ 1 and a world after its introduction, not so much for its lines that have long since become iconic, but also… Read More Banana bumpers: 1947 Volkswagen Typ 1
It has been a long time since we have seen a 1900 Primavera on sale, probably also because less than 300 were produced. There is another peculiarity that characterizes this special model: it is one of the few models made by the Boano Lavorazioni Speciali bodywork in its three years of activity, founded in ’55… Read More One of few: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Primavera by Boano
The Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera is the direct heir of the “noble” 2.7 RS but, paradoxically, for many years no one has thought about it, perhaps only because of the bumpers. The 2.7 RS is in fact part of the family of the so-called “Pre-bumpers”, that is the most sought-after 911s, while starting from 74… Read More Black duck: 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7
One of the most beautiful things in the world of the car, and in particular that of classic cars, is the interpretative ability of some subjects who, in the tranquility of their garage, try to create something according to their tastes and their imagination. So it may happen that, in a small town lost in… Read More OK custom: 1968 Volkswagen Woody
This car, with an elegant but very sober appearance, has two great fathers: Vittorio Jano and Francesco De Virgilio. Many of you know the first of the two, known for having designed the legendary Alfa Romeo P2 and P3 for the team headed by Enzo Ferrari, the second for being the father of the V6… Read More Father to son: 1953 Lancia Aurelia B10
