Yes. As 99% of the Italian coachbuilders.

If this coachbuilder had belonged to the 1% it would have been a great help !

Was this coachbuilder located West of Milano ?

No, East of Milan.

Much much less than 30 Km.

Paul Jaray · August 16, 2016, 12:23:40 PM

Hmmm...I think I know the city now.
Did this coachbuilder dress any Fiat (not busses or commercial vehicles)?

als15 · August 16, 2016, 12:56:36 PM

Yes, some. As 99% of the Italian coachbulders.

Campana?

als15 · August 18, 2016, 05:42:58 AM

Yes, an early body by Campana. But which car is it?

Locked for Paul Jaray.

Paul Jaray · August 18, 2016, 06:13:26 AM

Waiting for a good encyclopedia about the subject (...), I can only have a look at the few sources I have about.
In a long article about Carrozzeria Campana from 'Auto d'Epoca', there are the same info that can be found from your Fuoriserie's books...it seems that the first cars were a Fiat-powered Sport for Sighinolfi and a couple of sports with a Giannini and a BMW engine.
Chassis was built by a mr. Giovanardi. A couple of articles from Ruoteclassiche don't add much. Onorio and Erasmo Campana started in '47 after a long period working for Bacchelli & Bertolini.
Puzzle car seems to be pre-47, was it built for them?

als15 · August 18, 2016, 06:35:10 AM

You are right. The car is indeed pre-war and was made by Onorio Campana but when he was working at Bacchelli & Bertolini.

Still locked for the name of the car (actually, the name of the maker of the car, as I don't think it has a model denomination itslef).
