This is the last of my detail shots of the Fiat Dino Coupé I came across in Frankfurt's Goethestrasse. A great car. The owner just came back when I took photos and was happy to let me have a look inside as well.
Fiat built the Dino Coupé from 1967-1972. Together with the open Spider version, only 7651 cars were produced. Nowadays, it's one of the most sought out Fiat cars.
This one was parked in Frankfurt's Goethestraße, the most expensive shopping street of Frankfurt.
Out for a spin in Rome. I spotted the whole family crammed into a vintage Fiat 500 bombing up the Via Leone IV towards the Vatican.

J'aime beaucoup les anciennes petites voitures,un peu étrange pour une femme de 50 ans.

Back in the early 1900's many Fiats were built in American in order to avoid the substantial tariffs placed on these imports, and this car was one of those. At the time, Fiats were very expensive, and depending on the coachwork they ranged in price between $3500 and $4500 dollars. And, when you consider the cost of the typical Ford Model T at the time being well under $1000 dollars the Fiats had a huge price tag. And, also huge in size was this car pictured above. One can't really appreciate it's rather intimidating mass until you stand next to it...it's BIG! And powering this one, obviously built for the race track with it's open wheeled configuration, was an equally huge 9 liter 4 cylinder motor pumping out a respectable 75hp. And the sound of it running with it's open headers "snapping, barking, and growling" was also huge on the db scale. And now entering it's 110th year of life it makes a huge presence as it makes the rounds at the show circuits around the country. Did I say "huge" enough? Well, I think you get the picture!
The one shot I was after while away; we stayed at a hotel in Turin which was part of Fiat's old Lingotto factory until the seventies. This is eight portrait shots, second attempt, at a time when there was no-one else in sight, thirty-degree heat in an extremely perilous crouch at the very top of the bank.
The building atop, the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli Art Gallery - not the ugly, incongruous glass and steel one being built behind - contains an exhibition full of works by Canaletto, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani and others. I love this place.
The factory was completed in 1923. Unlike any other car factory to date, the factory featured a spiral assembly line that moved up through the building and a concrete banked rooftop test track. It was the biggest car factory Europe had ever seen and was the second largest in the world.
Designed by engineer Giacomo Mattè-Trucco, the five story building featured a simple loop rooftop test track with two banked turns that consumed a 1620 foot x 280 foot portion of rooftop. The test track's banked turns were constructed from an intricate series of concrete ribs in a construction technique that had not been used frequently before Lingotto's construction. It's safe to say the technique had never been used for a test track six stories in the air.
The rooftop test track at Lingotto was not a novelty or an afterthought, but an integral part of the manufacturing process; the Lingotto factory featured a unique upward spiral assembly line. As each Fiat was put together it would progress upwards through the building story by story. Each floor was sequentially designated to specialize in a major part of assembly. What would start on the ground floor as raw materials and individual parts became a running driving Fiat by the time it spiraled its way to the top of the building.
When a Fiat had finished its climb through the 16,000,000 square feet of Lingotto it exited the building by way of the roof. Each Fiat was taken on to the roof and around the banked race track to make sure the prior five floors of manufacturing had done their jobs to satisfaction. The Lingotto test track was even briefly featured in the Italian Job. During the famous escape sequence the red white and blue Mini's go three wide on the banked rooftop race course with police in hot pursuit.
If you're in Turin, go. It's worth the trip. Plus you can go to the track for free if you use a little confidence or you can buy a ticket for the exhibition and go with your ticket.

52 Weeks: Week 11, Theme "Something I have never photographed before"
I never, if I can help it, take pictures of motor vehicles. I have no interest in cars, at the most I had a soft spot for our VW camper back in the 1980's.
This Fiat 238 was probably manufactured sometime between 1966 and 1968.

Il progetto fu attuato da diverse celebri figure dell'automobilismo di quegli anni: Tranquillo Zerbi, Antonio Fessia, Bartolomeo Nebbia e Dante Giacosa che costruirono una vettura dalle prestazioni di classe, ma dai costi relativamente contenuti. Il modello viene presentato alla Fiera di Milano il 12 aprile del 1932 in occasione del Salone dell'automobile e si caratterizzava soprattutto per il prezzo base di sole 10.800 lire
