The Fiat 1500 Cabriolet Pininfarina: the italian Cord.

Vehicle Overview

This Fiat 1500 Cabriolet PininFarina Cord styled one-off model from 1939 stands as a remarkable testament to the fusion of Italian craftsmanship and American inspiration. Drawing heavily from the design aesthetics of the Cord models, this unique Fiat 6C 1500 Cabriolet was meticulously crafted for an affluent client, showcasing a distinct blend of elegance and innovation. The most striking feature of this bespoke vehicle lies in its front-end, a departure from conventional brand identity.

The integration of American design elements into an Italian chassis is a testament to the automotive industry’s ability to transcend borders and draw inspiration from diverse sources.

The italians very often copied the americans in the 30s and 40s , probably with the intentions of bringing something new to the market, or private customers who desired something from the other side of the Atlantic.
