The light work vehicles produced 50 or 60 years ago in Italy were not exclusive to Fiat, but also to the most refined Lancia. They too helped Italy in the post-war economic recovery. In our case, these are two installations carried out on a common platform: that of the Lancia Ardea, a medium-high class sedan… Read More Two trucks: 1952 Lancia Ardea 800 van and pickup
We know well that, unlike other markets such as the American one, European cars, especially Italian, did not offer many paid options in the 1950s and 1960s, which is why we were interested in this Flaminia. The first reason for our interest is certainly the state: the dealer says that this car is a survivor,… Read More Loaded: 1963 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pinnfarina
This rare Appia Sport is said to be available to the public for the first time after 40 years during which it was owned by only one person. This person is (or was, we did not understand) a producer known in the studio environment, Arthur Vitarelli, it seems that among his productions there were titles… Read More Producer’s car: 1963 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
The last evolution of the sports cars built by Zagato on a Lancia Appia base is the Sport, also known as “swb” and, apparently, designed by Ercole Spada. Swb as the wheelbase had been shortened by 16cm but, apart from that, this model also differed aesthetically in other aspects including the front and other details… Read More Red and low: 1961 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
We must admit that, if until 4-5 years ago finding some Appia Zagato for sale was a recurring event, for a couple of years now we have been seeing very few of them. The specimen covered by this article is, moreover, a particular version. It is in fact one of the very few that have… Read More An early one: 1957 Lancia Appia GT by Zagato
We don’t often publish cars like this one, not because it doesn’t deserve it, but because they are very rare. In fact, all Flaminia Convertibles are rare, but in the 2.8-liter version, only 180 were built and who knows how many of them survive to this day. probably, in percentage terms, much more than the… Read More Accessible rarity: 1968 Lancia Flaminia Convertible 2.8 by Touring
Some time ago we published another example of Lancia Esatau, but in that case it was a “civil” version, among other things very well restored. Here, however, we are faced – and this, for us, is an absolute novelty – of an Esatau destined for the Italian army (or at least of what remained of… Read More Combat skills: 1948 Lancia Esatau 6 Rom
If you have a lot of money on hand and a passion for classic cars, you don’t necessarily have to think about a car from the 50s or 60s. Indeed, in the case of this car we must even talk about the 80s: at the beginning of that decade I was a child, it is… Read More Warrior breed: 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale
Even in Europe, in the late 1940s, the long wave of cars built with metal and wood arrived, a style dictated mostly by Chrysler and Ford since the early 40’s. Italy in those years had a strong commercial exchange with the United States (its main customer for many goods) and the American continent in general,… Read More Italian woody: 1951 Lancia Aurelia B51 Giardinetta by Viotti
After the Second World War, Europe was in pieces and had started to lick its wounds, yet at the same time there were people who commissioned cars like these. After all, it is not a novelty that rich people are certainly not suffering from the crises, however it is also true that if it were… Read More Post war glory: 1946 Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet by Pininfarina
