So let's be clear : you are looking for a guy who made this car or the body but he is no official coach builder ? It is better to have things clear !

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: SACO on May 12, 2014, 04:15:29 AM

Not Castagna Fiat 1500
A firm built this car, and not only the body !

So, if I understand well, we are looking for the name of a company that built that car, but not the name of a car manufacturer or coachbuilder, correct?

So I guess the company we are looking for is not usually associated with car manufacturing?

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: SACO on May 12, 2014, 06:53:39 AM

Yes !the company is associated with van and car manufacturing !

A Bianchi prototype?  ???

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: mekubb on May 12, 2014, 07:48:28 AM

Is it from Italy ?

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: SACO on May 12, 2014, 08:33:12 AM

Not a Bianchi !
An Italian builder ( not a coach builder ) during little time !

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: AlexFrance on May 12, 2014, 09:16:39 AM

Was it built in the 1940s?

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: Iluvatar on May 12, 2014, 10:06:01 AM

Looking at the picture it should be a car built in Milan during the war...  :scratch:

Post by: mekubb on May 12, 2014, 10:33:42 AM

Did this company make more cars (or other vehicles) or just this one ?

Title: Re: SAC#720
Post by: SACO on May 12, 2014, 11:42:17 AM

Yes! a car built in Milan during the war !

It is an Auto-Lux, so probably an electric car. The source says that the picture is supposed to be from 1937/38, but the white lining and the electric conversion makes me rather think that it was built during WW2.

The rear side of the picture:
