The Fiat 1400 Coupé Castagna Vistotal.
The Fiat 1400 Coupé Castagna stands as a vibrant testament to automotive elegance, a yellow beacon of sophistication on the Fiat 1400 chassis. Unveiled in all its glory at the 1950 Turin Auto Salon by the renowned Carrozzeria Castagna, this masterpiece represents the epitome of Italian craftsmanship and design ingenuity. What sets this coupe apart is its utilization of the groundbreaking Vistotal patent for its windscreen. This innovative feature not only enhances the car’s aesthetic appeal but also offers a unique driving experience. The Vistotal windscreen, characterized by its seamless and expansive design, provides an unobstructed panoramic view, creating an immersive connection between the driver and the road. Beyond its striking exterior, the Fiat 1400 Coupé Castagna boasts a harmonious fusion of style and performance. The yellow hue accentuates the car’s sleek lines and timeless curves, capturing the spirit of an era marked by automotive innovation and luxury. As a relic from the mid-20th century, this coupe remains an icon, embodying the marriage of form and function that defines classic automotive design.
At the end of 1937, at the Milan Motor Show, Carrozzeria Castagna had exhibited a Vistotal cabriolet which featured a windshield which was erected from the dashboard without any side posts. This revolutionary system born beyond the Alps was called “Vutotal”.
