One of the best cars made in France after the WWII is the Simca Week-End, the cabriolet version of the Coupé de Ville. Both were one segment upper than their cousins, the Aronde series. Also this Simca was built by facel coachworks, this means that there is some aluminium somewhere: in this case we’re talking about… Read More Robergel wheels: 1956 Simca Week-End
Of course this is a car which can be found in good numbers in its own native country, but this is one of the very few delivered new in Austria. And we must say that, considering the typical weather of Austria, this car has been preserved really well: indeed it’s not only about the cold… Read More Austrian sleeper: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina
It’s not usual at all to spot a Romeo for sale, but it’s absolutely unique to see a first series for sale, especially if bodied like this one. It’s actually a 1956 Romeo bodied by Boneschi in order to advertise tourist trips to a castle near Bologna: its shape is unique and very funny in… Read More Supercharged advertiser: 1956 Alfa Romeo “Romeo” T10 by Boneschi
Well, the presentation of this car is not good but at least the seller has said the truth about the conditions of this car. It’s an Aurelia B20 GT, probably a fifth series, which need a lot of patience and work, along with a good amount of money and time to spend on it. That’s quite… Read More Much rust, no papers: 1956 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT
This early Giulietta Spider carries a three digits chassis number: it is the #250 to have seen the light out of the Portello factory. It was sold new to Hoffmann in NY and then it was white as the old paint on the dashboard tells us; nothing else has remained of that white which was… Read More 250 from launch: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
The seller of this beautiful Giulietta Spider (chassis #135) says that it’s a pre-series car as it’s one of the first made and many details differ from the “standard” production: we believe that’s it’s not exactly the truth. Indeed the real pre-series cars (maybe the first 50) had some very different features: at least the… Read More Supposed pre-series: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
The seller says that this is a rare opportunity to put your hands on a bus like this at a low price: Actually we believe him. It is a 1956 Bus imported from Germany (of course it is, maybe he means that it was not born for the U.S. market). He also says that it… Read More Bargain with hand brake: 1956 VW Bus T1 Kombi
This is the umpteenth Alfa auctioned by the same seller: he also sold a couple of 2500 in the past. All these cars needed a big restoration but they all were in fair conditions. This is the time of a 1900 Super Sprint (chassis #1900C.10468) which, as the old Alfa Romeo papers say, has been sold… Read More Style isn’t cheap: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint
Again, this is a car never seen before. It’s Called P1900 and it’s a fiberglass car built by Volvo during 1956 and ’57, in no more than 70 units. This was quite an experiment made by Volvo: the fiberglass body was commissioned to Glasspar when Assar Gabrielsson, founder of Volvo, saw the Corvette during a trip in… Read More The unexpected: 1956 Volvo P1900
This Giulietta Spider is said to be a 1959 but, as the chassis number is 1495*472, we suspect that is a very early swb, probably a ’56. The seller says that this is a former racer which joined many events like Watkins Glen, Belmont, Lime Rock and many others: he says that the car got a… Read More Former racer granny: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
