These vehicles were intended for working-class users, or for experienced people whose hobbies required a large rear bed: it is nothing new in fact that pickups have always been the best-selling cars in the United States. One of the options to cover this market was the Ford Econoline which, like many professional vehicles of the… Read More Work in style: 1966 Ford Econoline 5 Pickup
They are not all barn finds: there are also field finds as in the case of this very special Fiat 500C. In fact, the seller says that this car was found abandoned in a field at the end of the 90s and then, after various vicissitudes, restored in the livery you see now. It should… Read More Field find: 1954 Fiat 500C Cassonato by Grazia
We have seen around some Fiat 500C with this configuration, but never a “B” series. This vehicle is not to be defined simply as rare, but very rare: we do not know whether it left the factory like this or, if the modification was made later than its birth, who made it; surely this is… Read More Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro
We could not fail to publish this wonderful Alfa Romeo pickup truck based on the “Romeo 2 °” model as it is the first time we see one. In fact, we thought that these pickups were only a prerogative of the A12 model while the Romeo 2 ° was built only in the “closed” version:… Read More Patina monster/7: 1960 Alfa Romeo “Romeo 2°” Cassonato
And here is another variation performed on the platform of the much better known Fiat 850: this time too it is a work vehicle. We have seen so far many variants created on the 850 platform, but it is the first time that we see this version which, in the case of American pickups, is… Read More Flatbed: 1970 Fiat 850T Cassonato by Coriasco
When it comes to classic pickups, our thoughts automatically goes to vehicles such as the Ford F100 or the Chevrolet 3100, symbols of post-war US motoring. Yet even in Europe, in enormously smaller quantities and with much smaller engines, similar vehicles were produced: perhaps the most famous is the one built on the basis of… Read More Pick it up: 1971 Fiat 241 T
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
“Cassone” is what the “bed” is for a pick-up car, obviously this type of car was also produced in Italy, although with visibly smaller dimensions. What is not easy to find is a Lancia Appia used to be a work vehicle: generally it was the Fiat 1100 that was used for professional purposes, the Lancia… Read More Italian picker: 1960 Lancia Appia “Cassonato”
Back in the last century coachbuilders were not only involved in producing cars for wealthy and whimsical people but also for workers with taste. This pickup is the proof of that: we used to know that many commercial vehicles were built on the platforms of mass production cars, especially of Fiat and Lancia, but we’ve never… Read More Coachbuilt pickup: 1934 Fiat 508 Van by Bertone
This car is speculated to be one of only three still surviving pickup out of 55 ever made by Giannini: we have never seen one so far. Actually we didn’t know that Giannini made a pickup based on Fiat 500 platform (which Giannini knew very well); indeed we believed that, back in the sixties, Giannini’s… Read More Limited delivery: 1965 Fiat 500 Pickup by Giannini
