1966 Fiat-Concord 1500 Coupé (styled by Vignale).
Title: Re: SAC#230 :
Post by: SACO on August 16, 2012, 06:03:54 AM
My base give Fiat 1..
and  I don't recognize the Vignale logo ?
Locked for you !
Title: Re: SAC#230 : Locked
Post by: als15 on August 16, 2012, 06:35:56 AM
And in fact I was wrong. This is not the Vignale-styled version. And I don't know who made it.
The base is a Fiat 1500 or a slightly later 1600 (125).

1400?
Title: Re: SAC#230 :
Post by: SACO on August 24, 2012, 10:09:32 AM
Doubtless ,but it's a strange badge :
Fiat 140 Fuoriserie  ???
Title: Re: SAC#230 :
Post by: als15 on August 24, 2012, 02:27:36 PM
 ??? Doubtless hand-made.
140 is a dropped project number from the '70s, for a luxury sedan never made (if I'm not wrong). I'm almost sure that who made this car didn't actually refer to the real Fiat 140 project.

Coachbuilder could be Canta for me...
Title: Re: SAC#230 :
Post by: Iluvatar on August 26, 2012, 09:22:27 AM
For me it's a Canta Fiat 1400 with later modifications, like the new grille (the central triangular grille looks like the front grille of an Abarth Fiat 600) and lights, and the badge (the shape is from the 70s with the new blue badge)...
What do you think??
Title: Re: SAC#230 :
Post by: Iluvatar on August 26, 2012, 10:21:53 AM
Just to compare with the Canta body (on other models with identical style: Fiat 1900 and Lancia Aurelia)
Title: Re: SAC#230 :
Post by: SACO on August 26, 2012, 12:23:34 PM
It seems to be the good solution  :thumbsup:
Fiat Canta (1400 or 1900 )from Argentina !
1 point for Iluvatar !

The car looks shorter then the 1400 in the period pic you post...
Maybe it's a 1100??
Title: Re: SAC#230 :Fiat Canta (1400 or 1900 )from Argentina
Post by: als15 on August 26, 2012, 03:47:40 PM
And Canta was based in Turin and - AFAIK - never exported to Argentina. Perhaps a Cisitalia local production under license or one of their imports (e.g. they sold under their brand Fissore's cars).
And the period picture is - if I'm not wrong - from an Italian magazine featuring a Turin motor show, so no sure connection with the modern pictures is actually proven...
