This model emerged from a collaboration between Volkswagen AG, the Italian design house Carrozzeria Ghia, and German coachbuilder Wilhelm Karmann GmbH, introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1961. Styled by Sergio Sartorelli at Ghia, the car featured angular lines and a distinctive profile that distinguished it from contemporary offerings. As Volkswagen’s range-topper at the… Read More Baby blue: 1969 Karmann-Ghia Typ 34
About ten years ago I went to inspect in person a car like this, painted in silver, and I was stunned by the dark brown leather interior.

Among the countless variants of Volkswagen’s iconic Typ 2, few are as unusual—and today as coveted—as the Doka, the Doppelkabine double-cab pickup. Introduced in the late 1950s for Volkswagen’s own factory logistics, the Doka combined the practicality of a work truck with the ability to carry an entire crew in the front cabin. These were… Read More Multi-purpose: 1961 Volkswagen Combi T1 Doka
A handsome survivor in rosso ossido (oxide red), this Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé pairs one-owner provenance with the right kind of mechanical pedigree: the alloy, DOHC Dino V6 conceived for Ferrari and mass-built by Fiat so the engine could be homologated for late-’60s Formula 2. The coupé’s crisp fastback lines came from Bertone—first sketched under… Read More Oxide red: 1968 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé by Bertone
If you’ve never heard of the MarDal, that’s because it was a bespoke one-off—its name formed from Marzotto + Dal Moro—commissioned by the racing Marzotto brothers, especially Umberto, in 1951. The brief was pure post-war Italian ingenuity: a petite 750 built on a lightweight Gilco tubular chassis (the same firm that supplied Ferrari’s racing frames),… Read More One of one: 1951 MarDal 750 Sport by Fontana
No, we didn’t mean to make this “Lancia Week,” but when we come across such extraordinary examples, we feel compelled to share them — to bear witness to a world that no longer exists.
