Solved -PJ522- Dal Buono VW Sport 1957
« on: March 30, 2013, 06:57:30 AM »
I'd like to know more about this car.
So far I have just the base car, were it was built and the builder's job.
1 point for these 3 data and 1 more for any additional info.

I think this could be a pre-war car rebodied and re-engineered post-war. There are transverse leaf springs front and rear, and what appears to be an oddly-angled outside gear lever.

I'm having a mental block on what it could be.......

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I have just this pic, the engine the place and the builder's job (irrelevant, after all!). I know also that when it turns, the wheels act like in a motorbike and bent.

It is the Dalbono (or dal Bono?) with VW engine, shown at the Torino Salon 1957.

Wow!
It's from Ferrara (Italy) and it is powered by a VW 1200 engine!
I'm pretty sure you found it!
Can you tell me more? Even by PM!

Right now unfortunately not, but it seems to have been mentioned in a magazine from 1957. I don't have that one, but perhaps a colleague of mine. I'll ask him tomorrow.

The name is (probably misspelt) from a 1958 book:

I'll look in my edition of Quattroruote but there are no pics for sure.
That's very interesting!

The car's creator was Ingegnere dal Buono. He presented his brainchild at the Salone Internazionale della Tecnica in 1957. The tilting of the wheels was steered by a lever that was engaged by the driver's knees.
