The Lancia Flaminia was introduced in late 1956 as a 1957 model to replace the aging Lancia Aurelia line. Whereas the Aurelia carried the rounded looks of its 1950s design heritage, the Flaminia looked forward to the sharper edges of the 1960s designs.
While Lancia made the mechanical underpinnings and Pinin Farina drew the basic design, coachwork was farmed out to Italy’s finest design and bodywork houses, including Zagato, Touring, Pininfarina and Ghia. This resulted in a number of different special editions, including a special aluminum-bodied fastback by Zagato.
The Flaminia debuted with 2458 cc V-6 engine rated at 98 hp and 137 lb-ft of torque. An optional high compression version of this engine was available for sedans and was installed as standard equipment on coupes and roadsters. The optional engine was rated at 119 hp on coupes and 140 hp on GT coupes and sedans. In 1963, Lancia upgraded the engine to 2775 cc and 150 hp. That engine was used through the end of the line, though the vast majority of Flaminia production happened between 1957 and 1963.
The Flaminia carried a four-speed transmission, and all were rear-wheel drive. Where the older Aurelias used a sliding block front suspension, the Flaminia used modern control arms and coil springs at the front end, but maintained the standard semi-elliptic leaf springs supporting a solid axle at the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes were standard on all Flaminias from the beginning of the line.
From the beginning, various coachworks supplied a variety of body styles under the Flaminia name. The original 1957 design was a pillarless four-door hardtop, but starting in 1958 Farina delivered a two-door coupe while Zagato offered a two-door fastback. There was aldo a two-door Spider convertible, and Touring made a two-door GT coupe as well. Through the 1960s, a variety of bodies continued to come and go. After 1967, production was limited to the original four-door hardtop, known by Lancia as a pillarless sedan.
Throughout the entire run, just 8,745 Flaminias were made. About 6,750 were delivered with the 2.5-liter V-6 engine, while about 2,000 were made after the larger 2.8-liter engine was introduced in 1963.
The Flaminia offered excellent performance for its day. Boasting 0-60 times of about 8.5 seconds and a top speed that could reach 130 mph, Lancia’s sports car was more than respectable. Prices started high, ranging between $6,000 and $7,000 through the early 1960s, but only rose as high as $7,600 in the mid-1960s for the most expensive sport coupe models. The vast majority of Lancia Flaminias hovered around $7,000. For reference, that was about half the cost of a Ferrari 250, and twice the price of a basic Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in 1960.

1967 is the 3rd most popular year model with Ford producing 472,000 Mustangs and only follows the 1966 (1st - 607,500) and 1965 (2nd - 559,500) model years in total numbers produced.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

A very good looking '67 Beetle. I'm sure it must have been recently restored. I doubt however that many were sold here with whitewalls. 1967 is the last year for these headlights and small bumpers for the 1300 and 1500. The 1200 would keep these bumpers for a few years.
This picture was not taken by yours truly. So why am I posting it, you say? Well, because, No.1 - I wanted a picture of a 1967 Pontiac GTO to complete my Album titled; “The Golden years of the Pontiac GTO” and No.2 - I do not have any pictures of a 1967 GTO in my computer. Furthermore, I have no idea if and when I will ever get an opportunity to take a picture of same.
If I ever find a ’67 GTO at a cruise night event - and am able to get a decent picture of it, I might replace this picture with one of my own. I did have several pictures of what I considered, a gorgeous white ’67 Pontiac GTO (the one seen here; HERE) but all pictures of this car were swallowed up when my back-up hard drive crashed. A hard lesson learned. Since, not only do I back-up to a 2TB SSD drive but I also store pictures on two 256GB Flash drives. No, I do not back-up to the Cloud because I refuse to pay monthly fees to any company (except utility bills and credit card banks).
In conclusion, the only edit I did (other than some sharpening, to the car in this picture is change its color from red to black. Although I do not find a copyright license on this picture, for the sake of attribution, this picture is in the possession of, American Classic Rides
