Solved: Wendax 1451 - Fiat 1400 Brasil Cabriolet by Stabilimenti Farina

[Wendax]

Elegant.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

It should be a Fiat 1400 bodied by Bertone.

[Wendax]

It is a Fiat 1400, but not by Bertone.

[als15]

You are right, it's coachbuilt by Stabilimenti Farina. I never realized before how similar is it to the 1st Bertone St.Leger. Both by Michelotti, of course...

[Wendax]

Yes, coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina. Locked for you to find its name.

[als15]

It was called "Cabriolet Partenope" (latin name of Naples).

[Wendax]

Not the name I have, still locked.

[als15]

My source is the period magazine Motor Italia, that should be very reliable.
Does your use a different definition as "Convertibile" (also often used by Farina for his open bodies) instead of "Cabriolet" or the issue is about "Partenope"?

[Wendax]

I took the picture from a Stab. Farina brochure, and there it is called Cabriolet 5 Posti "XXX" Fiat 1400 (don't count the Xs).

[als15]

My last guess is "Brasile", that according to Motor Italia should have been the coupé version...

[Wendax]

I'll accept that although my source says Brasil without "e".  ;)

One more point for you.

[als15]

Very good. Not just for my 150th point, but also because so I'm able to fix a little mistake in my coachbuilt-Fiats knowledge-base.

[Wendax]

It has been a pleasure for me.  ;)
