Q#105 - 1963 Allemano Fiat 1500 Berlina 4 Posti

[Quiller]

What's the make and model of this car?

[Graber]

fiat 1500 by allemano ( the real one, not the one that´s puzzling  )

point number 25 !!   

[Quiller]

Yes - I thought I'd be cheeky and post an Allemano.

Can you be just a little more specific on the exact body style for the point, as there were several Allemano bodied Fiat 1500s

Sweet!

However, I have a different name on file for this body style...

2 + 2 coupe ! 

[Quiller]

Still not the one I have! 

[Quiller]

Anyone know the exact body style?

[D-type]

Is it a Berlinetta?

[Quiller]

Not there yet

[Graber]

i guess you have to keep that point for yourself 

nitpicking greets,

[Quiller]

It's really not that much of a leap to guess the body style. I'll even give you clue: it's not a coupe

[Arunas]

Barchetta? 

[Quiller]

Barchetta? 

Nope. But it does begin with 'B'. Come on!

[Allemano]

Shot in the dark: "Berlina"? Quite common name for Alfas and Fiats

[Allemano]

To be honest: I have my doubts if it's the correct name, but never mind!

[Quiller]

Berlina is correct. Quite fitting that you get the point I guess.

As you can see, it's quite different from Allemano's 2+2 Coupe of the same period:

[Allemano]

Yes, I knew, but have it saved as 1963 Fiat 1500 Coupe 2+2:
With both cars!

Shot in the dark: "Berlina"? Quite common name for Alfas and Fiats

"Berlina" is the italian word for "sedan\saloon".

[Quiller]

Here's the contemporary literature that shows the name

[Allemano]

On one hand you have a strong argument, but on the other hand I had in mind the Sedans/Saloons use to have 4 doors...
It was in the Rookie section back then otherwise we would have discussed it earlier. 

[Paul Jaray]

In then pic there is just written that this is a sedan based on a Fiat 1500, it is not a particular name of the car...and sedan can have 2 doors without beeing coupes!

[Allemano]

Yes there are some examples of two door sedans but they're very rare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedan_(car)
If I take a close look to the body shape of Quiller's Fiat Allemano I would definetely say that it's a coupé!

[Ray B.]

I disagree, Allemano, two door sedans aren't rare, by all means. With american cars (my specialty, sorry) every make used to build two and foor door sedans. Two-door sedans were different from the coupes: they had the same interior room and roof line  as the four doors sedans, when the coupes had less inner room and a shorter and later, when they became hardtops, a lower roofline.

[Allemano]

You don't need to be sorry if you are right! 
Okay maybe you're correct, but you maybe agree with me that a Sedan has commonly 4 doors.
Also it was only my opinion about Quiller's car!
