In recent years, many have abused the term “patina,” using it to describe what are essentially wrecks. In this case, however, the term seems entirely appropriate. We’re looking at an exceptional condition for an equally rare car: a DKW 1000 Coupé built by Fissore, the renowned coachbuilder from Piedmont, commissioned by the German manufacturer. It’s… Read More Patina Monster/11: 1960 DKW 1000 Coupé by Fissore

There are cars that, for us, are as hot as these summer days, not because they are particularly valuable or beautiful but because they are rare gems, in this case, probably unique. This is a “Familiare” version (if you prefer, call it a station wagon or estate) built by the Fissore coachbuilder in Turin on… Read More Green advertiser: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 “Assistenza Michelin” by Fissore
In the second half of the 1970s, the term ‘SUV’ was still far from being coined, but 4×4 vehicles were starting to shake off the idea of being purely utilitarian, embracing the concept of a vehicle suitable for all uses and capable of offering comfort similar to that of sedans. In this context, a very… Read More Pre-SUV: 1979 Monteverdi Safari
This car is very rare, and we can imagine the surprise of the current owner when he found it abandoned in the corner of a warehouse in Italy.

We know well that, among the dozens of Piedmontese shops active until the 1960s, Fissore was the most specialized in the reworking of vans or vehicles for professional use. We were therefore not surprised, on the one hand, to find for sale this very special 600 Mutipla, nicknamed “Sabrina” by the Turin coachbuilder.

When it comes to the rarity of a classic car, the mind immediately flies to important pieces such as Ferrari or Maserati, but rarely does one think of a Fiat. Instead, it is precisely among the latter that there are such rare models that, if you own one like this, you will probably be the… Read More Very rare bird: 1955 Fiat 1100 TV by Fissore
The “standard” Fiat 1600S Coupé is yet a rare car as just 273 were build, this one is a special version built by Fissore coachworks and so here we’re talking of a true rarity.

This is the second 1100TV by Fissore we have published here: honestly we didn’t believe to see another one for sale for years but here it is another one just one year later. Actually the seller says that this is the only car around but clearly he’s not a Classic Virus reader. Differently from the… Read More O.S.C.A. badged: 1955 Fiat 1100 TV by Fissore
These Cisitalia’s are very rare as they were built when Dusio, founder and owner of the firm, moved to Argentina and there he decided to carry on with his business with the help of his son Carlo. So, most of these cars remained in South America and never saw Europe or U.S.A. Of course these… Read More Southern relic: 1962 Cisitalia DF 85 by Fissore
