More than a proper coupé this Granluce (something like “great light”) is basically a two door sedan: actually back in the early fifties this was the cutting edge Fiat model just after, of course, the 8V. And few knows that this car was originally designed to be pushed by the famous 8V Fiat engine, mostly because… Read More Panoramic view: 1954 Fiat 1900 “Granluce” Coupé

Ok the seller doesn’t mention the build year of this Cisitalia made in Argentina but we know pretty well that these were built for three years, from 1959 to 1961 starting, of course, from the chassis of a Fiat 600. Actually this one just one of the several models built by Cisitalia Argentina after that… Read More South of the border: 1959 Cisitalia 750 Spyder
Here it is another car we ignored the existence of so far: it’s an interpretation of the Fiat 600 made by one of the most renowned coachbuilders of the last century, Alfredo Vignale.

These cars were build in 300… Read More Uncertain birth: 1970 Moretti Sportiva
