The Fiat 1500 Coupé 2+2 Allemano.

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat 1500 Coupé 2+2 Allemano, constructed upon the Fiat 1300–1500 chassis, made its official debut at the 1961 Turin Motor Show. Its favorable reception prompted the esteemed coachbuilder Serafino Allemano to integrate the model as a foundational element of his production portfolio. Reflecting Allemano’s characteristic approach, the design adhered to a classical stylistic philosophy, favoring restrained elegance over flamboyance. The coupé’s silhouette is defined by clean, linear proportions, with a streamlined side profile marked by gently contoured fenders and a pronounced rake to both the windshield and rear window. The architecture reflects a balance between refined aesthetics and subtle dynamism, qualities that positioned the vehicle between the realms of sporting character and upper-class sophistication—a hallmark of bespoke Italian design in the early 1960s. The roofline, notably low and compact, merges harmoniously with both the bonnet and rear deck, forming continuous surfaces that share a steep, unified inclination. The frontal aspect is distinguished by its broad horizontal emphasis: the air intake grille, situated nearly at the same height as the twin headlamps, is framed in chrome and adorned with a slender horizontal molding, accentuating its elongated, elegant form. At the rear, the design remains deliberately understated. The upper surface of the tail is flat, with only the rear fenders breaking the otherwise clean volume. The taillight assemblies are directly sourced from the standard Fiat sedan, signaling a practical reuse of components within a custom-bodied framework. Internally, the vehicle retains the standard Fiat dashboard and steering column-mounted gear selector. However, Allemano introduced a subtle enhancement with the addition of padded upholstery along the lower edge of the dashboard—an element that combines functionality with an elevated sense of craftsmanship.
