Solved: PN #124 -- Fiat 1500 Coupe by Garavini
« on: November 06, 2010, 12:45:03 PM »
While waiting at the airport I was browsing through photos and realized that I don't know a thing about this car.
The pictures are from the collection of the Hungarian Museum of Architecture. I think the donor is very easy, so no point for that, but its coachbuilder and more info certainly worth a point.
Or is it a repost?

Very nice car!
I guess the donor is a Fiat 1500, right?

I found the car I had in mind, but it's quite different.
If it's italian I'd bet Viotti or Castagna. I'll keep digging.

All I know is that the pictures were taken at the premises of the Hungarian Fiat distributor. This building was opened in the mid-1930s and was quite modern. Today it houses a Suzuki and Peugeot dealership.
Photos were taken by Zoltán Seidner, a well-known photographer of those times. After the 2nd World War he dug a hole in his garden and hid all of his negatives there. A while later a researcher from the Museum of the Architecture appeared and managed to get permission to uncover the negatives. That's how his superb works have survived.

Any proof? I don't know anything about this car, so I need proof.

This picture comes from Sannia's book about Fiat 1500 Fuoriserie, page44 in Viotti's entry.
I think they look slightly different...

They are similar, but I am sure this is not by Scuderia Paroli. Look at the location of the door handles. "My" car has suicide doors, this car has got conventional doors

That is not a Fiat, but the bitter end of a Delahaye!

Yes, I´ve known this very pic for some years now. It is a Delahaye indeed.
If the driver had kept it for his children, they would own a treasure today...

"Coupe Sportive Based on Fiat 1500 chassis built by Scuderia Parioli 1936"

This is almost correct. It's a coupe based on the Fiat 1500 from 1936. Today we found the solution. I published it on Facebook. It'd be unfair to award a point I think. So let me close this topic with the solution
