We knew the sedan, station wagon and rare convertible versions, but we didn’t know of the existence of a coupé version, at least until a few days ago. Maybe we haven’t studied enough, but it’s also true that in years of sifting through tens of thousands of ads from all over the world, we’ve never… Read More Never seen before: 1963 Peugeot 403 Coupé
It wasn’t difficult, among cars built in the 1950s, to find cars that had “parents” of different nationalities: here is a representative specimen. The reason for this multiple paternity (or maternity) was the different specialization of the different countries: Nobody did bodywork as well as the Italians and therefore, for a luxury car, it was… Read More Niche stuff: 1954 Nash Healey Coupé by Pininfarina
The seller of this beautiful 1600S OSCA says that this is one of 814 built: perhaps this is true if you also consider the convertible versions. In fact, we have different data (better, or worse depending on the point of view): in fact, we understand that just under 300 specimens were built as regards the… Read More Silver italian: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
A classic car that disappears from sight for many years is not great news, but it becomes so when the car is a Ferrari, especially a convertible like this one. It is in fact a 250 GT Cabriolet by Pininfarina, a second series, sold new to the first Italian owner residing near Milan, and purchased… Read More Lost and found: 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Here is one of the “beautiful and misunderstood” of the world of classic cars. Well, we can say that this model was misunderstood until a few years ago, now things have changed. Double overhead camshaft, double carburetor, five-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes, factory fitted Nardi steering wheel, design by Pininfarina: it is a respectable pedigree… Read More Little red coupé: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
If we were to estimate the cost of a car based on how many dollars per horsepower it takes to buy it, the Aurelia B24S Spider would be one of the most expensive in the world, however it probably wouldn’t even be in the top ten. And this is good news for anyone who has… Read More White glove: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider by Pininfarina
When we talk about being “different” we certainly are not referring to this Ferrari 250 GT which is a rare car in itself and therefore different from the others in itself. Rather, we are referring to a detail that may escape at first glance. But let’s take a step back for a brief description of… Read More Being different: 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Coupé by Pininfarina
And here, the same seller who owns the Lancia Artena published a few days ago, sells this rare Alfa Romeo, even more rare as it never seems to have been restored. We have not seen many 6C 2500s built by Pininfarina in similar conditions: the last was perhaps a blue specimen, on sale in Italy… Read More Out of the barn: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 S Cabriolet by Pininfarina
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
One of the good things of sifting through thousands of classifieds ads, going around shows and attending classic car forums is to keep track of many cars over the years, especially the rarest and most unique ones. And so we found an old acquaintance – at least we suppose it is – this magnificent 6C… Read More Blue blood: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet by Pininfarina
