Today we do not have a car but only a part of it and, moreover, this part is not even complete. It is in fact, from what the seller says is a known Maserati specialist, of an original merger, therefore not reproduced in Argentina or UK, of an A6 engine (which should be a 2000… Read More Bare metal: Maserati A6GCS Engine
It is not unusual to find a Lancia Aurelia, built in the immediate post-war period, which has a special body, and this car is an example. Obviously, “it is not unusual” does not mean that you can find one at every street corner, in particular if the car was commissioned by the Italian driver Giovanni… Read More Pilot’s car: 1950 Lancia Aurelia B50 by Vignale
“Home” stands for Italy, of course, since it is very strange to see a rare Fiat 1100 ES in the United States, as the number of cars produced is really small. We do not believe that this car was sold new in the United States, it probably arrived years later as a used car, in… Read More Far from home: 1950 Fiat 1100 ES Coupé By Pininfarina
Although we have published other Simca 8s in the past, none of them was in the conditions of this convertible that looks like a real time capsule. The seller says that this car has been brought in the US when his service was over very common in those years: That’s not the first time we… Read More Flash inside: Simca 8 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Yep, the name of ths car is quite long and the car which it belongs to is quite rare: probably the only one in the U.S.A. an one of the very few made at the beginning of the fifties. Finding this car at 6,000 miles from where it was built is indeed odd, given the… Read More Three seater: 1950 Fiat 1500E Cabriolet “Riviera” By Stabilimenti Farina
Yes indeed these cars once were abandoned everywhere, including fields, just like this one that has still its body only because it’s made of aluminium. The car is sold with a bill of sale only and it’s easy to understand why: nobody provides you with a title in a field: jokes apart this is a… Read More Field find: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Convertible
This car is the 110th XK120 which came out of the Coventry factory and, as an early car, is one of the very few dressed with an alloy body, making it a special one. The astonishing thing is that the seller has not only one, but two of these cars: the other one is still… Read More Downsizing: 1950 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S. “Alloy”
We’ve seen a lot of things in the classic cars world but, as often happens, we still missed something. In this case that’s about this unique Crosley “truck” built for Pinto Air Freight. The best part of the story is that, many years later, the son of Pinto Air Freight founder, Frank, found it in… Read More A family affair: 1950 Crosley 18 wheeler
We have never hidden our passion for the Simca 8, and that’s still true even for this particular car which has some special features. Indeed this is not a common Simca equipped with the inline-four, 1100 c.c. engine derived from the contemporary Fiat unit, but a V8-60 flathead Ford engine installed in 1960 with Eddie Meyer… Read More A mighty one: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Convertible
*Veritas (latin) = “Truth”. Mr. Magnus from Sweden was inspired by this Veritas for sale two years ago, to tell us the story of his father and his Veritas back in the fifties (see photo above). What’s puzzling is that the car had different characteristics from any other Veritas known, like it was a kind of… Read More What’s the Veritas*?
