Here it is one survivor of the 1,075 Eldorado Seville made in 1960. Actually, for us the ’60 Seville is The Cadillac: in that year the Caddy abandoned those huge (and somehow ridiculous) fins to adopt a couple of sleeker and elegant fins on the back end. The Seville had also a particular front/rear grilles,… Read More Gold inside: 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Seville
We’re far to consider ourselves as classic cars experts but we’re neither the last of the bunch. However, we not only haven’t ever saw this car, but we didn’t ever know of its existence. It’s called Alpine Renault A108 Cabrio and, we must say, it’s a very pretty car. This car seems to be a… Read More Never seen before: 1960 Alpine A108 Cabriolet (by Allemano?)
This 1960 Karmann Ghia is a very nice survivor which runs and drives. The seller says that it hasn’t never been hit and that the car is complete with every part. The overall aspect is extremely good and solid. No photos of the undercarriage have been posted, but we suspect that you could find only… Read More Mountain patina: 1960 VW Karmann Ghia Coupè
It’s not unusual to find car ads with few explanations, but it’s extremely rare to find an ad without a word: this is the case. So, we must evaluate only what we can see. The second 2000 Spider Touring of this week seems solid and complete. The 2000 has more external trims than the 2600 (we… Read More Two scoops: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider
One of the best things of the classic cars hobby is that your certainties are continuously questioned. In this particular case, just when we thought to know (or, at least, to have seen) all the Italia 2000 survived so far, here is another one that pops out from darkness. We will not pull out about… Read More #95: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
The 1960 Eldorado Seville was made in 1,075 units and then sold at the price of $7,400. It was made in only 1,075 units and now it’s very difficult to estimate how many survivors are still around. The seller says that this car is in nearly mint conditions and chrome, trims and interiors are perfect.… Read More 1,075 made: 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Seville
The seller says that this Flaminia Convertibile has perfect floors and body already restored. We have many doubts about the second statement, at least about how the work has been performed. He also says that this car was originally registered in France. The soft top chassis is in place and that’s good as it is… Read More Was french: 1960 Lancia Flaminia Touring Convertibile 2.5
This 1960 (type 101) Giulietta Sprint seems to have been forgotten under a cover by someone many years ago. The seller wrote only two rows to describe the car but we think that the photos speak enough. The car is almost complete (there are pic of the windows too) and in a fair condition, considering… Read More Forgotten: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
In 1959, Salvatore Ruffino commissioned to Giovanni Michelotti, the top-notch italian car designer at the time, the task to design a sport coupé based on Triumph TR3 chassis and engine. The grey car in the photo is the result of such work. It seems a wonderful specimen and has still its original black plate. The… Read More Michelotti job: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
Underrated for many years, these Karmann Ghia are beginning to claw back their place in car history. The Ghia design (directed by master coachbuider Felice Mario Boano till 1955) works well still today. This particular car, covered with a primer which has the same colour of clay, seems quite solid and mostly complete. The wheels… Read More Clay look: 1960 VW Karmann-Ghia
