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 Fiat 600 served as the basis for many variations: most were custom-built by the major Italian coachbuilders, while others were built with the aim of supporting companies. This specimen is part of the last category: the chassis, with appropriate modifications, is precisely that of the small Italian utilitarian car but the body was set… Read More Italian minivan: 1959 Fiat 600 Multipla by OM
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 are wondering how to transport your classic car to the next concours, this truck is the answer. Clearly we are not talking about the transport of a car that is worth half the price of this Alfa Romeo A12, but of classic cars with an “important” value: believe it or not, we know… Read More Power truck: 1969 Alfa Romeo A12
These vehicles produced by Alfa Romeo, both in the A12 version (truck) and in the F12 version (vans), have recently become almost a cult. Certainly thanks to the badge on the front, a badge that alone has enough history to give value to any vehicle, and then also because of the numbers in which these… Read More Ocean twelve: 1968 Alfa Romeo A12
You will certainly have noticed that we never miss the chance to publish a hearse, especially if it was built until the 70s. The reason is simple: apart from the “unpleasant” destination of the vehicle itself, the fact remains that often these cars were real masterpieces of bodywork, often crafted by great builders for whom… Read More Double cab: 1960 Fiat 1100 T Hearse
In the past we published another truck, but it was a specimen of the Lancia Esatau, very rare but certainly no more rare than this Alfa Romeo 455. We don’t have a lot of documentation on this truck series, but let’s assume some readers have it and it would be nice to share information with… Read More Spica equipped: 1959 Alfa Romeo 455
Of course we are not talking about the famous orange juice drink sold in the USA until the late 70s, but an A12 truck painted in the same color as that drink. It is also the first time that we see an F12 or an A12 painted in this color so the first question that… Read More Orange Crush: 1968 Alfa Romeo A12
We’ve seen a lot of things in the classic cars world but, as often happens, we still missed something. In this case that’s about this unique Crosley “truck” built for Pinto Air Freight. The best part of the story is that, many years later, the son of Pinto Air Freight founder, Frank, found it in… Read More A family affair: 1950 Crosley 18 wheeler
Ok, this truck has not the loving appeal of the VW Samba, but for sure it is not less head-turner than its german fellow. This truck in particular carries a section of the roof detached from a Samba and then welded on its body. The seller sats that this truck has been restored in 1992,… Read More Reincarnate Samba: 1965 Mercedes-Benz L319
