1959scudetto Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) One of Pininfarina’s most famous designs, built in 1954-55 (only 240 pcs., 50 of them are lying on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean when the steamer “Andrea Doria” sank after a collision with another ship in 1956 with these on board, destined for the USA). Whereas the 1:1 cars demand prices of about $ 1000000 or more at auctions, these 1/24 diecasts are available for little money: the cream-colored one is from the Italian Quattroruote series from 2008/2009, whereas the silver example is from the Auto vintage deluxe collection that started also in Italy in 2013 – both are made by Ixo and are very well proportioned (the metallic grey one has a too glossy red interior which should be toned down) – I only added Italian and French license plates to them – otherwise they remain untouched.

Gramps46 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Thank you for sharing these iconic Lancias (aka lawn chairs 😄) I have the metallic grey one which is labeled Metro and I see a problem with the cream one, it is not in my collection.

1959scudetto Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Some years ago I found these pictures on the internet - possibly the role model for the cream-colored version: cream/ivory color with dark green wheels and green (although lighter) interior: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Removable hardtop. You won’t see many. Decent article too. https://revivaler.com/lancia-aurelia-b24s-spider-america/ Dark Green interiors are favorite, rare anymore. Make mine Black/Crème/Silver over dark green. Nardi pack, wires and HT. 😍 Lawnchairs forever. 😂 Edited March 21, 2022 by keyser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Helmut, those are beautiful!! I've found them offered on ebay. Wish they cost a little less, but that's ok. They're on my shopping list now anyway. Great photographs! Thank you for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Thank you, guys, for me this is a typical "dolce vita" car as only the Italians could build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
