This is one of those cases where the pictures do not fully correspond to the truth. Indeed under that odd “skin” is hidden the chassis and mechanicals of a 1952 Porsche 356 (once coupé, VIN #11471): to make a long story short, the car was bought new and brought to a race where it had… Read More A bad day, a new life: 1952 Porsche 356 Coupè
What about a Ferrari powered by eight legs insted of twelve cylinders? Classic cars world is somehow strange, but this is one of the strangest things seen so far. It’s actually a Ferrari 212 body (#13) coming from a car crashed in the early eighties; maybe back then a total restoration was unaffordable or, at… Read More Leg power: 1952 Ferrari 212 Inter Cabriolet
We are not aware of how many of these cars are still running around but we are pretty sure that no one could be better than this one.

How about installing the V16 posted yesterday into this car? Ok maybe it wouldn’t fit, but the meat here is not the candidate engine but the car itself.

As we supposed, here it is another old Alfa by the same seller who’s selling the 6C 2300 published earlier this week. That’s a 1952 5C 2500 bodied by pininfarina: this is a less seductive Alfa as it has four doors but it’s however a rare piece as it’s a special bodied car made… Read More Here is the next: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Berlina by Pininfarina
This car was the last Alfa Romeo made using chassis and engine of the great 6C series. It was called “berlina” even if it had two doors only.

Probably there’s not a classic little car with more class and style than a “Topolino” Belvedere. This car was born to let common people have a little and cheap car but, at the same time, providing them with more space than a standard Fiat 500 for every family need. This particular car is very nicely… Read More Early wagon: 1952 Fiat 500C “Belvedere”
