Sun and warm air in your hair: this is the first feeling that comes in mind when looking at this car, especially in quarantine times like these. The car is a LaDawri, Sebring model, a fiberglass creation from the 50s, made by LaDawri Coachcraft, founded by Leslie Albert Dawes in British Columbia, Canada in 1956,… Read More Open orange: 1957 LaDawri Sebring
The Heinkel Kabine was a microcar designed by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke and built by them from 1956 to 1958. Clearly this car owes a lot to the ISO Isetta. The 1950s saw a remarkable flowering of Microcars, this is quite obvious because on the one hand there was a growing need for mobility, on the other… Read More Cabin fever: 1957 Heinkel Kabine 200 Typ 154
There are not a few 356 Speedsters around, in any condition, but very few still have the original hardtop which, by the way, has a beautiful design. In fact, I don’t like spiders with the hardtop because to me it “kills” the character of a spider (and very often makes it uglier) however, as with… Read More Hard-Top: 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster
The other time it was white, this time has a two-tone paint job: blue with a white roof, it’s certainly very elegant. Obviously it remains a very small car: it was even 60 years ago, so today it seems almost a pedal car, especially if you put it alongside a common utility car of our… Read More Blue outside: 1957 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti
Everyone (or almost everyone) loves small Fiat, especially if done in limited series by the large body shops on the market in the 50s and 60s. One of the smallest produced in the 50s was the Fiat 600 by Viotti, one of the largest Turin body shops that, among other things, also worked as a… Read More Red inside: 1957 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti
Have you ever parked your car for 53 years? Someone did it because he bought a new car. In the past it happened – in southern Italy – that the wealthiest families did not trade-in the old car for a new one as this would have appeared in the eyes of the people as a… Read More Parked, simply: 1957 Borgward Isabella
If there is a cliché about a vintage car, this Speedster is its plastic representation: black, red interior and paint worn by time. 62 years have passed since the construction of this 356 Speedster, assembled in Germany two years before the year in which the film Back to the Future (which I am watching while I… Read More Just enough scraped: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
What does the collecting value of a car depend on? Rarity? Beauty? Sports pedigree? Pop culture? Surely it is a value derived from the crossing of all the previous ones, but in some cases it is still difficult to calculate it. One of “those cases” is certainly related to this Fiat 500N (chassis # 110… Read More Oldest isn’t cheapest: 1957 Fiat 500 N
Among the many things that we have never seen before, there is a Giulietta Spider with seats lined with python skin (no matter if it is real or printed vinyl). Surely this is a very special feature, but it takes away little from this car: it is in fact a Giulietta Spider 750 from 1957,… Read More Snake seats: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Exactly as the title suggests, we publish this beautiful boat on which, however, we have some curiosities to satisfy. The seller says that the aluminum bodywork was made by Viotti, and this is a great thing as long as it is possible to prove it by means of documentation and / or photos of the… Read More No head inlets: 1957 O.S.C.A. 1500 S by Viotti
