Ford Taunus P4 1962-1966





Designed by Ghia, the 2300 Coupé was first shown in Turin in 1960 and appeared in the showrooms in 1961. The 105 hp 6-cylinder 2270 cc engine gave the car a top speed of 195 km/h. It was built until 1968.

Initially the 850 was available in two versions, the ‘Normal’, with a 34 hp 843 cc engine, and a ‘Super’ with a slighly higher spec.



The Fiat 600 was introduced in 1956 and was an immediate success. The model shown here is the first one, easily identified by the front opening doors and the direction indicators on the top of the front wings
Fiat 600 D

This one still has front-opening doors, but the indicators have been moved to the front and sides.

Forerunner of the MPV. It actually did seat 6.


Popular to this very day. Great for a day out in the country: four of them obviously came in the Giardiniera, the other two in the 500 D, and I suppose the photographer came in the back seat of the 500 D. . .

Car of the Year 1967


Continued for many more years as the ubiquitous Lada.



This is the successor to the 1100 TV and was also known as the 1200 TV. Great styling, similar to that of the Simca Aronde Océane & Plein Ciel of the same era.
