The Lancia Aurelia Florida I.
The Lancia Aurelia Florida I: Undoubtedly, the Florida berlina by Pininfarina, wass the most renowned and influential special concept. It was first introduced in 1955, with four models produced, including one 2-door and three 4-door sedans. The Florida berlina had a unique square design with a full-width grill and modest tail fins. The spacious cabin boasted large glass areas and a wrap-around panoramic windshield. The 4-door Florida special, like the standard Aurelia, had pillarless, opposed opening doors, and all models were painted in a tasteful 2-tone color scheme. The modern pontoon-like appearance of the Florida impressed and intrigued customers and car manufacturers alike. When Lancia came under new management in 1956, it was decided that the successor of the Aurelia should be based on the style and shape of the Florida show cars, which led to the introduction of the Lancia Flaminia berlina in 1957. Other manufacturers also contacted Pininfarina for similar sedan designs like the Fiat 1800 Speciale, and the Peugeot 404. The Florida’s new style influenced European car design for decades to come and established Pininfarina as one of the most important styling studios.
