Although not big as they were used in the U.S. cars, also Italian designers adopted the use of fins on many italian cars: Vignale was the master in this fashion but even others less known designers like Viotti didn’t disdain to put them on his coachbuilt cars. This coupè was bult, needless to say, on… Read More Pure fifties: 1959 Fiat 1200 Gran Turismo by Viotti
The last three decades have been very hard with this 1959 Fiat 1200 spider which needs something more than a simple “restoration job”. Indeed the car is rotten everywhere and few thing can be saved: interiors are gone somewhere in the past as well as the windshield, but the issues come with the body: half… Read More No keys, no spares, no title: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Spider
Here it is one of the very last SWB Giulietta Spider (chassis AR1495.06512): indeed not many know that there was been an “interim” series of Giulietta Spider which, although badged “750” and featured by small headlights, had already a long wheelbase and you can easily spot these car by the presence of the wing windows.… Read More The die is cast: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
That’s not easy to find a true barn find Coupé Deville in the (almost) same shape as when it left the factory, but sometimes it still happens and this blue ’59 proofs that. By the way we never saw this color combo on a ’59: we’ve far away to be Cadillac experts but we’ve seen hundreds… Read More Fifty years long sleep: 1959 Cadillac Coupé Deville
We’ve seen other Abarths 750 Spider for sale in the past years but this (chassis #100478497) is clearly the one in worst conditions ever. That’s because this car has been for sure abandoned to elements and not in an enclosed space: the chassis metal is basically gone and whoever gets this car must be very… Read More Handle with care: 1959 Abarth 750 Spider by Allemano
So far we have often seen these cabriolets by Vignale built after the 1960, but actually cars built before that year are quite rare. Then, this is not a first series Cabriolet: the first series had only two seats (this is a 2+2 car), a discontinued side profile (with the rear fins more outlined than… Read More Early car: 1959 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
This is new. As it’s just happened, this is the first time we see this car, and probably a long time will pass before we’ll see another one for sale. It’s called Neckar/Fiat 500 Limousette, built by Weinsberg coachworks between 1959 and 1963. Weinsberg also built the Coupé version on the same Fiat 500 N… Read More The sedan version: 1959 Neckar/Fiat 500 Limousette by Weinsberg
Sometimes on of these Moretti Tour De Monde pops up somewhere, in this case it’s a cabriolet which has the exact color of the underlying ground. 150 Coupè bodied cars were made but we don’t know the number of the cabriolets built by Moretti between the 1959 and the 1961. It has a 750 cc engine with… Read More Terrain camo: 1959 Moretti Tour De Monde Cabriolet
We know this car, we have even seen it in person and we must admit that it’s a great specimen, even if some details could be improved. According to the Italia 2000 page on Facebook, this should have the Vignale body #8, it’s is indeed a very early specimen which has been restored around eight… Read More Old acquaintance: 1959 Italia 2000 by Vignale
You know…when the classic cars market is yet overinflated, what else to do? Just inflate it a little bit more! What we have here is a bunch of Ferrari 250 in need of a total restoration and, moreover, they are not even complete: particularly the 250 spider is basically a body and a chassis, with some… Read More Many millions: Ferrari 250 stash
