This beautiful one-off was built by Touring Superleggera for the 1938 Concorso d’Eleganza of Villa d’Este which was cancelled due to the geopolitical situation. A long and slender Flying Star body, for the first time in a Coupé verion, on a 6 seat Astura IV chassis. Also here we can notice the thick chrome strips on the side that starts from the radiator, runs along the entire car forming a ‘V’ and the trademark curved louvres that symbolize a ‘Shooting Star tail’.
The Flying Star is a type of body created by Touring Superleggera introduced at the 1931 Milan Auto Show on a Isotta Fraschini 8B chassis which gained a great success. It was also adapted to other chassis maintaining the same basic settings. The trademark elements of this kind of bodywork were basically a thick chrome strip on the side that starts from the radiator, runs along the entire car forming a ‘V’ at the doors and descends on the tail.
