Solved: PN #124 -- Fiat 1500 Coupe by Garavini

[pnegyesi]

While waiting at the airport I was browsing through photos and realized that I don't know a thing about this car.
The pictures are from the collection of the Hungarian Museum of Architecture. I think the donor is very easy, so no point for that, but its coachbuilder and more info certainly worth a point.
Or is it a repost?

[DynaMike]

Very nice car!
I guess the donor is a Fiat 1500, right?

[Paul Jaray]

I remind something like that by Pininfarina...

[Paul Jaray]

I found the car I had in mind, but it's quite different.
If it's italian I'd bet Viotti or Castagna. I'll keep digging.

All I know is that the pictures were taken at the premises of the Hungarian Fiat distributor. This building was opened in the mid-1930s and was quite modern. Today it houses a Suzuki and Peugeot dealership.
Photos were taken by Zoltán Seidner, a well-known photographer of those times. After the 2nd World War he dug a hole in his garden and hid all of his negatives there. A while later a researcher from the Museum of the Architecture appeared and managed to get permission to uncover the negatives. That's how his superb works have survived.

Any Fiat experts out there?

Coupe Sportive Based on Fiat 1500 chassis built by Scuderia Parioli 1936

Any proof? I don't know anything about this car, so I need proof.

This picture comes from Sannia's book about Fiat 1500 Fuoriserie, page44 in Viotti's entry.
I think they look slightly different...

[pnegyesi]

They are similar, but I am sure this is not by Scuderia Paroli. Look at the location of the door handles. "My" car has suicide doors, this car has got conventional doors

One last nudge before the Black Hole

[pnegyesi]

And to the Black Hole

[Paul Jaray]

found this in an Hungarian site...

[Wendax]

That is not a Fiat, but the bitter end of a Delahaye!

[grobmotorix]

Yes, I´ve known this very pic for some years now. It is a Delahaye indeed.
If the driver had kept it for his children, they would own a treasure today...

I feel someone should recognise this one.

"Coupe Sportive Based on Fiat 1500 chassis built by Scuderia Parioli 1936"

This is almost correct. It's a coupe based on the Fiat 1500 from 1936. Today we found the solution. I published it on Facebook. It'd be unfair to award a point I think. So let me close this topic with the solution

[galrot]

What a cool car.
