Fiat Ardita Double Phaeton Pininfarina
With this open body on a Fiat Ardita chassis, Pinin Farina anticipated the stylistic evolution of the de luxe sports car, while at the same time respecting car fashions of the period. Today we would call it a spider except for the two dickey seats dug out of the tail, making it reminiscent of the old type of open 4-seater carriage known as a double phaeton.
Vehicle Overview
In 1931 Pinin Farina unveiled a very similar body with the Cadillac V16. The line gushes with personality and the balance of proportions is quite unusual; the deeply sloping windscreen, with its two side elements, and, even more notable, the already fully flanged mudguards linking smoothly with the running-board, are well ahead of their time. The tail contains two dickey seats to which access is gained by the side doors and by tilting back the covering panel; they are protected by a windscreen identical to the front one, with the same side appendages (fixed to the doors and thus openable sideways), very nearly a forerunner of today’s wrap-round windows.
