Description
Fiat 1500D Convertible “Stabilimenti Farina”
Rare and unique – this is the most accurate description of the 1949 Fiat 1500D Convertible, styled and bodied by the prestigious Stabilimenti Farina. Farina was renowned for his refined and forward-thinking designs, which elevated Italian automotive elegance to international recognition. With only a handful of similar examples known – just four recorded worldwide – this Fiat represents an extraordinary and highly exclusive chapter in Italian motoring history.
Discovered in a barn in 1993, the car had remained hidden for decades before being brought back to life. It was subsequently fully restored and rebuilt, with close attention paid to preserving its original lines, proportions, and fine detailing. The elegant bodywork is beautifully presented in the sophisticated combination of “Antoinette Blue over Cream” with red leather, underlining its timeless and distinctive appeal.
What makes this Fiat especially compelling is its authentic and personal story. Its provenance is supported by documents and photographs collected over the years, offering both clarity about the restoration and an engaging narrative that invites further exploration by the next custodian.
A rare Fiat convertible that unites Italian craftsmanship with the exclusivity of coachbuilt design. More than just collectible, it stands as a symbol of post-war Italian elegance and design artistry.
