IMHO, this one of the most beautiful cars ever made. What is it?


Well it looks like a Zagato coupe and the big drums scream Maserari A6 but I've never seen a flashy Maser with a simple egg-crate grille and no Trident motif. So is it a coachbuilt Fiat 8V instead?

1950 Abarth 205 Vignale Berlinetta

Found the bugger at last. I was thinking ca. 1949-50 – not Cisitalia but nearly. The unusual grille shape had me stumped for ages.
