Looking good, both.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Fiat 1100 Ghia 1948 !

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2021, 06:11:09 AM »

Ghia is correct, but not 1100 and I have another year.

Fiat 1400 Ghia 1950 ?

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2021, 11:52:42 AM »

Indeed!

The caption in your source seems to be wrong.
This is one of the two Ghia-bodied Lancia Aprilia by Basso.
They were built on a chassis made by Giovanni Basso (some sources reports only one had the Basso chassis, the other was on standard Lancia chassis).
One of them is still out there and a replica (on a Basso chassis) was built not long ago.

Well, that explains why I couldn't find any other picture of this "Fiat 1400 Ghia". I took the picture from a contemporary Italian magazine, might have been L'Auto Italiana.

Thanks for putting this one right. I'll change the title.
