We have seen around some Fiat 500C with this configuration, but never a “B” series. This vehicle is not to be defined simply as rare, but very rare: we do not know whether it left the factory like this or, if the modification was made later than its birth, who made it; surely this is… Read More Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro
Even in the USA, utility cars have been produced in the European way, although they have not been very successful. And it’s not hard to guess why. In the USA there were no space problems (roads, parking lots, etc.) with the exception of a few urban realities such as New York city or Los Angeles,… Read More Rare bird: 1948 Crosley CC Four
And here, the same seller who owns the Lancia Artena published a few days ago, sells this rare Alfa Romeo, even more rare as it never seems to have been restored. We have not seen many 6C 2500s built by Pininfarina in similar conditions: the last was perhaps a blue specimen, on sale in Italy… Read More Out of the barn: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 S Cabriolet by Pininfarina
It is not new that the “special” edition Fiat 500 A and B are rare, and this is even more true when it comes to cars set up for work. Many coachbuilders have tried their hand at the construction of bespoke bodies on the frames of these cars that they bought directly from the factory,… Read More Working class: 1948 Fiat 500A “Furgoncino”
One of the good things of sifting through thousands of classifieds ads, going around shows and attending classic car forums is to keep track of many cars over the years, especially the rarest and most unique ones. And so we found an old acquaintance – at least we suppose it is – this magnificent 6C… Read More Blue blood: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet by Pininfarina
This particular model of Fiat 500B is very rare: if you happen to see the photos on the web you can get the impression that there are many of them around, the reality is that they are the same specimens photographed in different times and places. There are no “official” statistics about the number of… Read More One owner: 1948 Fiat 500B Giardiniera Belvedere
Some time ago we published another example of Lancia Esatau, but in that case it was a “civil” version, among other things very well restored. Here, however, we are faced – and this, for us, is an absolute novelty – of an Esatau destined for the Italian army (or at least of what remained of… Read More Combat skills: 1948 Lancia Esatau 6 Rom
What we have here is a package consisting of two very interesting cars, an English to be restored and an Italian one to drive. We must start by saying that both cars are rare: English is certainly rare, the Italian is very rare and it is really difficult to see around. Another difference lies in… Read More Britaly: 1953 Arnolt-MG Convertible + 1948 Siata SC 750 by Motto
The Monviso body shop was not new to the standard Fiat modification, to create special cars for those wealthy customers who wanted to stand out from the crowd. Clearly Monviso was one of the dozens of Italian bodyshops that dedicated themselves to this kind of work, but it was one of the largest and in… Read More Almost blue: 1948 Fiat 1500 Trasformabile by Monviso
In fact we believe it is difficult to find a car (not born as a microcar) smaller than this barchetta, strictly red as the regulation of the time established. The reason for this smallness is simple: this boat was built starting from the chassis and engine of a Fiat 500 B, in particular the latter… Read More Smaller is harder: 1948 Siata 500 Sport Barchetta
