Once again, we come across a (probably) unique example and—what a coincidence—this too was built by Stabilimenti Farina on a Fiat 1100B chassis, with aluminum bodywork. We don’t know the history of this particular car, but we can make a guess: many years ago it was damaged, perhaps in a rear-end collision (or by hitting… Read More Tough life: 1949 Fiat 1100B Coupé by Farina
This example is attractive as it belongs to the first-series short wheelbase models, produced from 1955 to 1959, before Alfa Romeo lengthened the chassis. From the few photos available, the car appears complete and in overall decent condition, with straight bodywork, original hubcaps, and a period-correct interior.

Among classic Volkswagens, the Karmann Ghia has always held a special place thanks to its timeless Italian design by Ghia and the craftsmanship of Karmann.

Characterized by their lower front headlights and… Read More Low light, low conditions: 1958 Karmann-Ghia Coupé
In the 1940s and 1950s, the Fiat 1100 was one of the cars that best represented Italy’s postwar motorization. From its successful base, Fiat developed not only sedans and family versions, but also sturdy and versatile commercial vehicles such as the Fiat 1100 ELR, where ELR stands for Economica, Lunga, Rinforzata (Economic, Long, Reinforced), designed… Read More Country worker: 1952 Fiat 1100 ELR
