In fact, describing this car as “Rare” is somewhat understating it, as it appears to be a unique specimen. Actually, technically speaking, all these cars were “unique specimens” because they were vehicles produced exclusively on commission and with very specific requirements from the clients. Therefore, even for minor details, there were no two cars that… Read More More than rare: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
Two in a row doesn’t refer to the make and model of the car, but rather to two convertibles, in a similar condition, with a very similar color both inside and outside. The one published yesterday is technically a running car, something that can certainly not be said about this Flavia Convertible 1800, whose restoration… Read More Two in a row: 1965 Lancia Flavia Convertibile by Vignale
This car may not have any particular historical value, but it certainly makes for an interesting conversation piece, at least according to what the seller says. The owner bought it in 1974 but unfortunately cannot share the story as he is deceased, his wife only knows that the car was last started ten years ago… Read More Unsolved mystery: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
We will never get tired of the madness of the 70s, which very often found one of its forms of expression in the extreme customization of cars. Here it is no longer a question of “taste”, but only of observing a snapshot of those years represented by a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette roadster: it is certainly… Read More Big Banana: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
454 c.i, convertible, 4 speed, one owner, 13,326 original miles: it is an excellent business card for a car that has become an icon. To the details it should be added that this car is a full-blown “barn find”: the photos published show the car, probably at the time of its discovery, covered by decades… Read More Aged wine: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 454 Convertible
This is the small sister of the 300SL: the 190SL was in fact built in the image and likeness of its older sister but with a price tag that can still be reached by few, but certainly more than those who could afford a 300SL, both coupe and spider. And we must also say that… Read More Little sister: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
This car is small and, we could say, it is “simply” a Fiat, but in reality it is a very special and rare car. Even if you seem to have seen many around, in reality you have probably seen the 1200 which, although it has a basically the same bodywork, is distinguished by dozens of… Read More Flamboyant: 1957 Fiat 1100-103E TV Convertibile
We do not know who made this conversion and above all, more importantly, we do not know how it was done. The conversion from closed car to open car in fact requires a deep expertise of the torsional forces that are exerted on the body of a car. Nonetheless, we find this specimen very interesting.… Read More The odd cabrio: 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI
Ok, we imagine that at first glance you may look at this ad and think “What am I supposed to do with this wreck?” This question would make perfect sense if the car in question was an Appia Convertible belonging to the third series, this instead belongs to the second series and this means three… Read More Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
To those unfamiliar with cars it seems that making a spider version is easy: just saw off the roof and add a soft top but we know that this is not the case at all. The lack of the roof compromises the torsional rigidity of the chassis so, by eliminating the roof, it is necessary… Read More The open one: 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi
