Fiat 1500 Coupè Vignale?

Indeed it is!
Any idea when it was built?
Locked for your reply.

Post by: als15 on July 04, 2012, 08:48:39 AM: Not sure until I don't check my archive (at home), but it could be the 1964 latest generation (the one with the wide front grille).

Have you been able to check your files yet als15?

I was wrong: actually launched in October 1965.

We got there in the end!
Would you have a front view of this one?
Title: Re: Solved - NEH 1877: Fiat 1500 Coupé Vignale - 1963
Post by: Carnut on July 11, 2012, 05:00:43 AM: I found a front view.
But - the car is described as 1963, which is believable from that front view.
Anyway, I've moved the puzzle now so I won't take your point away!
Title: Re: Solved - NEH 1877: Fiat 1500 Coupé Vignale - 1963
Post by: als15 on July 11, 2012, 05:06:40 AM: I double-checked yesterday and in my archive have the official press-note dated 10.1965. I'll re-read it to be sure if about a new model or perhaps a minor change. However, I'd exclude it can be 1963 because it's based on the Fiat 1500C, that was launched only in 1964. Before that Vignale made another kind of 1300/1500 coupè, with a completely different style.
