1949 Lancia
Aprilia Coupé
One of the first cars designed
by Giovanni Michelotti and built by Vignale - there were many to
follow...
Lancia
Aurelia
The standard Aurelia had a
selfsupporting body, but on demand from 'il carrozzieri' also a chassis
could be delivered. From 1950 to 1956 about 900 Aurelia's were build. About
300 went to Pinin Farina, mostly 4-seater convertibles. All 900 had
'one-offs' in series up to about 20 cars. Vignale surely has built many more
than the five Aurelia's on this page.

1951 Lancia Aurelia B50
Coupé
1951 Aurelia B50 Vignale Coupe.
One-off,
believed built for the 1951 Genoa, Italy Motor Show.
The chassis was ordered in the spring of
1951 from Lancia by a main agent in
Novara (Piemonte) Italy. It was
delivered in the early fall of 1951, to a
wealthy resident of Alessandria
(Piemonte) Italy. Nothing is known of its
history until it appeared at a
Coys of Kensington auction in London in June,
1996 (the auction catalog
lists a "noted Italian collector" as the seller,
and says that he purchased
the car in 1980 in Napoli- however, it also
mentions that it was shown at
"the 1951 Genoa Motor Show". In my extensive
research in Italy, including at
the Biscaretti Museum in Torino, no one can
find any evidence of a motor
show having been held in Genoa). It was sold to
a Japanese collector, who
then sold it through a dealer in the San Francisco,
California area in early
1997. I purchased the car in March of 1997 and gave
it a complete mechanical
rebuild (it was not in good running order at all)
which was completed
recently.

Flavia
The Flavia convertibile was
introduced at the Turin Motor Show of November 1962.
Production started in
December 1962. Until May 1964 a total of 1601 Flavias were build.
Due to low
sales figures from both Vignale and Lancia during this period,
the last
Flavias were only sold in 1968.

Appia
The Appia Convertibile was
available as a 2 seater from 1957 to 1959
and as a 2+2 from 1959 to
1962.
The Appia Lusso is always a
Coupé, in fact it is a 2+2 with a welded hard-top.
It was also produced
from 1959 to 1962.
The 2+2 Convertibile is by
many people referred to as the Lusso. This is due to the fact that the 2+2
and the Coupé were built in the same period and show a lot of
resemblance.
