This car angered Enzo Ferrari. Certainly not because he thought that he could compete with his cars, but on the contrary, because he was too similar to the latter. In particular, it was too similar to the Ferrari 166 Inter Cabriolet, whose bodywork was made just by Farina. In reality this was quite normal as… Read More Almost Ferrari: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
Enthusiasts like us know very well what it feels like to see a very rare car locked up in a dark and messy garage: in our opinion, you never get used to it. And the strange thing is that to feel that feeling you don’t even need to be on the spot in person, a… Read More The baby blue one: 1949 Fiat 1100 “Derby” by Bertone
It’s nice to see cars like this coming up for sale: until a few years ago there were so many but now it seems that they have almost disappeared from the market. We are clearly talking about very special models produced in very few specimens for which we have survived a few, very few. As… Read More Rare bird: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
This special Fiat has been under our radar for a long time, certainly since it was on sale in Italy six or seven years ago: it is rare and it is very beautiful. It is also very similar to the Ferrari 166 cabriolet built by Farina coachworks in the same year, so much so that… Read More Winemaker’s car: 1949 Fiat 1100 B Convertibile by Farina
It is a classic Ford, it is in original condition and it comes from around Motown: it is almost a string of perfect conditions. Motown, for the uninitiated, is the contraction of the two terms Motor and Town, or rather Detroit, the heart of the American car industry as well as, during the 60s, the… Read More Motown blues: 1949 Ford Custom Club Coupé
A Fiat 1100B Cabriolet is a rare car even in Italy, let alone in the USA, especially if it has never been restored and still has its original black plate. If we were to imagine when this car ended up in California, we could think of the 70s when a large number of Italian cars… Read More From VI to L.A: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet
We would never have thought that after World War II Alfa Romeo cars were also purchased in Australia, but evidently the brand’s coat of arms had also reached the other side of the world. This Freccia d’Oro was in fact delivered new in Australia, but it seems that little is known about the very first… Read More Australian delivered: 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d’Oro
In the world of classic cars, there are few more fascinating things than a car that has rested in a barn for many decades. This is certainly not a Mercedes Gullwing or a Porsche 356, however it is an iconic car, sister of the one represented by Doc Hudson in the film Cars, which many… Read More Natural born streamliner: 1949 Hudson Super Six 2 Door Brougham
We are all used to thinking of Italian cars in the “Sport” category as well as beautiful barchettas built specifically for racing: this is partly true. The part that is not true, or at least not always true, is that these cars are all beautiful. The primary objective of these cars was to win races… Read More Red torpedo: 1949 Fiat 1100 BLT Barchetta by Benedetti
This little roadster produced by Siata in the immediate post-war period was made on the chassis of the Fiat 500C but with a hand-beaten skin. It was in fact a car designed for a more demanding (and economically stronger) clientele that could require various customizations both in the set up and in the color, moreover… Read More Little green roadster: 1949 Siata Amica Trasformabile
