This lowlight Karmann Ghia is said to be a one family car since new, and indeed it looks like an untouched specimen, including the period tires, the black CA plate and the original dealer plate frame. The seller has provided a very detailed description, partitioned in chapters for every area of the car. It comes… Read More One family car: 1958 Karmann Ghia Coupé
Nowadays we use to see a lot of abandoned cars covered by a one finger-tall layer of dirt and dust, and that is defined as “patina”. This early 356 (chassis #51465) is not dusty but indeed it has the real patina. The seller says basically that this car is a survivor: he indeed says that this… Read More Patina is not dust: 1953 Porsche 356 Coupé
This 1st series E-Type has arrived to us from the early days of rock’n’roll: watching those very old tires it’s clear that this former car has been abandoned somewhere many years ago and then cannibalized of its engine and transmission. Now it’s just a rolling chassis. Someone could say that it’s just a parts car as restoring… Read More Rock and rolling: 1963 Jaguar E-Type Coupé
This blog is now the official home of these cars. Here in another one living in France (like most of these cars, if you exclude Germany) which looks quite good. Differently from the other OSI 20M TS published here, this car has a little boss on the bonnet which could maybe hide an engine bigger… Read More Gimme one more: 1968 OSI 20M TS Coupé
Actually “Peppe” is the name written by the seller on the ad, we don’t know if it’s real but the most interesting thing is for sure the yellow Innocenti 950 Coupé. We’ve published another car like this one some months ago: we told that it is a rare car and now we realize that probably the… Read More Peppe’s yellow little bird: 1969 Innocenti 950 Coupé
The more the time passes, the more the feeling that these early Karmann are the new Porsche 356 grows. Indeed we already saw some perfectly restored specimen for sale at a very high price. No later than three years ago a car in this condition would have been worth no more than $2,000 (tops), today it’s a… Read More How low can you go? 1959 Karmann Ghia Coupè “Lowlight”
Update, same day: This car has gone fast, sometimes the bird must be even earlier… When the Appia came out, many coachbuilders made a lot of style exercises on this platform, the most famous of them were for sure Pininfarina and Vignale: The Pininfarina coupè has for sure a sleeker line than this car which, however, still… Read More Two doors only: 1960 Lancia Appia Coupé By Vignale
That’s extremely rare to see a car like this in the U.S.A. but it happens that there are still barns which can amaze you. This looks like a former California car as the black plate says, and probably this car was originally painted in a very elegant pale green. Then, sometime in the past, it… Read More Missing rear glass: 1957 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Pininfarina
The ’37 Ford brought a change in the lines of Ford cars: it had softer lines than its predecessor, the Model 48, a V-shaped grill and two beautiful teardrop shaped headlights. Other than that, this barn find looks very healthy although its black paint has become dull. The front bumper looks missing but the seller says… Read More Rodders away: 1937 Ford Coupé
Scioneri was a coachbuilder who mostly focused his production on little Fiat’s, mostly road cars. Although he had a little shop, he often worked with great designers like Michelotti, who designed this car. It’s clear that these cars were built for family men who wanted a Coupé to use it as commuter and carry their family around as… Read More Rising gold: 1966 Fiat 1500 “Sportinia” by Scioneri
