1958' Lancia Appia

The Lancia Appia, a car that made its debut in 1953 at the prestigious Turin Motor Show. Positioned as the younger sibling of the acclaimed Lancia Aurelia and the worthy successor to the Lancia Ardea, the Appia set out to make its mark in the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. With each new series, Lancia honed and refined this classic, ensuring it lived up to its heritage.
The Appia's journey was characterized by continuous improvements across its three series. Under the hood, a spirited 1. 1-liter V4 engine roared to life, delivering 38 horsepower. In 1956, the second series was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, revealing not only subtle exterior enhancements but also significant changes under the bonnet. Lancia engineers worked their magic, elevating the power through meticulous adjustments to the compression ratio, cylinder head, carburetor, and camshaft. Additionally, they extended the wheelbase by 3 centimeters, enhancing cabin comfort and creating more storage space in the boot, truly marrying performance with practicality.
One of the most captivating aspects of the Appia's legacy was Lancia's decision to open the door for esteemed coachbuilders to work their magic on this exquisite platform. From the second series onwards, the Appia became a canvas for artistic and innovative interpretations. Coachbuilders like Zagato embraced the spirit of lightweight design and aerodynamics, Vignale crafted a luxurious 2-door masterpiece, and Pininfarina, synonymous with elegance, gave birth to a captivating 2-door 2+2 coupe.

Its beautiful lines show resemblance to many of the legendary Ferrari models to come. The car is finished in a two-tone navy blue over cream paint job that suits it perfectly.
