What's the make and model of this car?

Graber · « **Reply #1 on:** September 27, 2008, 09:39:58 AM »

fiat 1500 by allemano ( the real one, not the one that´s puzzling

)

point number 25 !!

Quiller · « **Reply #2 on:** September 28, 2008, 06:43:13 AM »

Yes - I thought I'd be cheeky and post an Allemano.

Can you be just a little more specific on the exact body style for the point, as there were several Allemano bodied Fiat 1500s

Sweet!

However, I have a different name on file for this body style...

2 + 2 coupe !

Quiller · « **Reply #6 on:** September 28, 2008, 03:26:21 PM »

Still not the one I have!

Quiller · « **Reply #7 on:** October 16, 2008, 05:04:56 PM »

Anyone know the exact body style?

D-type · « **Reply #8 on:** October 16, 2008, 06:32:07 PM »

Is it a Berlinetta?

Quiller · « **Reply #9 on:** October 17, 2008, 09:01:41 AM »

Not there yet

Graber · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2008, 10:49:07 AM »

i guess you have to keep that point for yourself

nitpicking greets,

Quiller · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2008, 11:19:47 AM »

It's really not that much of a leap to guess the body style. I'll even give you clue: it's not a coupe

Arunas · « **Reply #12 on:** October 28, 2008, 01:04:09 PM »

Barchetta?

Nope. But it does begin with 'B'. Come on!

Allemano · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:13:25 PM »

Shot in the dark: "Berlina"? Quite common name for Alfas and Fiats

Allemano · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:28:28 PM »

To be honest: I have my doubts if it's the correct name, but never mind!

Quiller · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:30:08 PM »

Berlina is correct. Quite fitting that you get the point I guess.

As you can see, it's quite different from Allemano's 2+2 Coupe of the same period:

Allemano · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:33:09 PM »

Yes, I knew, but have it saved as 1963 Fiat 1500 Coupe 2+2:
With both cars!

"Berlina" is the italian word for "sedan\saloon".

Quiller · « **Reply #19 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:37:15 PM »

Here's the contemporary literature that shows the name

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** October 28, 2008, 04:50:47 PM »

On one hand you have a strong argument, but on the other hand I had in mind the Sedans/Saloons use to have 4 doors...
It was in the Rookie section back then otherwise we would have discussed it earlier.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** October 28, 2008, 05:09:39 PM »

In then pic there is just written that this is a sedan based on a Fiat 1500, it is not a particular name of the car...and sedan can have 2 doors without beeing coupes!

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** October 28, 2008, 05:17:18 PM »

Yes there are some examples of two door sedans but they're very rare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedan_(car)
If I take a close look to the body shape of Quiller's Fiat Allemano I would definetely say that it's a coupé!

Ray B. · « **Reply #23 on:** October 28, 2008, 05:55:52 PM »

I disagree, Allemano, two door sedans aren't rare, by all means. With american cars (my specialty, sorry) every make used to build two and foor door sedans. Two-door sedans were different from the coupes: they had the same interior room and roof line as the four doors sedans, when the coupes had less inner room and a shorter and later, when they became hardtops, a lower roofline.

Allemano · « **Reply #24 on:** October 28, 2008, 06:11:48 PM »

You don't need to be sorry if you are right!

Okay maybe you're correct, but you maybe agree with me that a Sedan has commonly 4 doors.
Also it was only my opinion about Quiller's car!
