Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Spinner wheel covers, blackwall tires, Marchal lights. Designed by Giovanni Savonuzzi for Ghia, built on Fiats delectable 8V chassis. The first of its series, bought by Paul Farago based on Luigi Segres (not Serge as cataloged) presentation of the design drawings to Virgil Exner at Chrysler and bought by the seller, Paul Lazaros, from Farago in 1955. Delectable original car with sound but aged paint, worn and surface cracked leather. Very clean and fresh engine. The small dents and dings only add to its appeal. A fabulous, wonderful, exotic, stunning automobile accompanied by a file of documents and articles that defines the term comprehensive.

Market commentary

Its worth whatever it brought, in this case a healthy price from the Caiola family. A great car, now with a new home with an appreciative family.
