Ford V8 Cabriolet Pininfarina

The Ford V8 Cabriolet by Pininfarina.

Vehicle Overview

The Ford V8 Cabriolet by Pininfarina exemplifies the transatlantic admiration for design excellence, particularly the elegant and spirited Italian aesthetics. In the 1930s, even as American coachbuilders and designers produced sleek and desirable automobiles, they often looked to Europe for that distinctive flair and creativity. Among European designers, the Farina family of Turin, especially Battista “Pinin” Farina, stood out for their light, sporty, and dynamic designs. This particular Ford V8 Cabriolet is believed to be the only Classic Era Ford featuring custom coachwork by Pininfarina. According to the story, Ford Motor Company commissioned this unique vehicle from the Italian coachbuilder as a styling study while considering design options for the production of the 1933 Fords. Crafted beautifully on the iconic 1932 Ford Model 18 chassis, this Cabriolet showcases Pininfarina’s masterful touch. Its design reflects the influence of Pininfarina’s earlier work with Lancias, evident in the sweeping beltline and the smartly tailored roof. Yet, it also mirrors the production Ford bodies from Dearborn, blending American robustness with Italian elegance. The result is a car that embodies the best of both worlds: the innovation and flair of Italian design seamlessly integrated with the classic American engineering of the 1932 Ford V8. This unique collaboration highlights the global exchange of design philosophies and the timeless appeal of combining diverse automotive traditions.
