Seen on a 1958 SIMCA Vedette Beaulieu Limousine Phase II.
The basic design for the Vedette-Series came from Ford, Detroit, but the finishing off was done by Fabio Luigi Rapi (It, 1902-?). The Vedette had all luxury of those days incorporated.
In the first years the Vedette Series was also sold in the Netherlands and Germany as Ford Vedette.
For 1958 a restyle for the tail and front was done (2nd generation Vedette). Also received the body a new panoramic windscreen.
The Beaulieu was the cheapest of the Vedette Phase II range.
After 1961 production was continued in Brazil.

"The Bianchina was based on Fiat 500 mechanicals – with its two-cylinder, air-cooled engine mounted in the rear – but featured a completely new stylish body designed by Luigi Rapi, who was in charge of Fiat's special body unit and helped to set up production in Desio. With many premium design and equipment features, the Bianchina was an upscale city car, positioned above the Fiat 500 in the market." c 1960+
Seen in a shop window near the Cathedral. I can't remember what kind of shop it was, but it had more die cast model cars behind the window. What I show you is just a small selection.
This looks like a contemporary model car.

The Simca Vedette Marly was derived from the Vedette Versailles, and was on top of the Simca range.

The Fiat 8V (or "Otto Vu") is a sports car produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1952 to 1954. The car was introduced at the 1952 Geneva Motor Show. The name 8V was chosen because they thought that Ford had trademarked the name "V8". They weren't a commercial success, but did well in racing. Apart from the differential the car did not share any parts with the other Fiats (but many parts were made by Siata and they used them for their cars). The 8V was developed by Dante Giacosa and the stylist Fabio Lucio Rapi. The engine was a V8 originally designed for a luxury sedan, but that project was stopped. The Fiat V8 had a 70 degree V configuration of up to a 1996 cc of volume, at 5600 rpm the engine produced 105 hp (78 kW) in standard form giving a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph). The engine was connected to a four speed gearbox. The car had independent suspension all round and drum brakes on all four wheels.
Top management were preoccupied with more run of the mill projects, however, and only 114 of the high-performance coupés had been produced by the time the cars were withdrawn from production in 1954.[1] Nevertheless, they continued to win the Italian 2-litre GT championship every year until 1959.[1]
34 of the cars had a factory produced bodywork by Carozzeria Speciale FIAT. Some cars had the bodywork done by other Italian coachbuilders. Carozzeria Zagato made 32 that they labelled "Elaborata Zagato". Ghia and Vignale also made bodyworks. Most were coupés, but some spyders were made as well.
La Fiat 8 V - "Otto Vu" à l'italienne, est une voiture coupé deux places lancée par le constructeur italien Fiat au Salon International de Genève de mars 1952.
Cette voiture était entièrement nouvelle et n'utilisait aucun composant déjà connu sur un autre modèle de la marque.
La partie la plus remarquable fut le nouveau moteur, un V8 de 1996 cm3 de cylindrée avec une ouverture du V à 70°. Le prototype d'essais montait une version à 2 carburateurs qui développait 105 cv tandis que les versions commercialisées comportaient 3 carburateurs et donnaient 115 puis 127 cv.
Avec une ligne élégante et très filante, la vitesse atteingait les 190 km/h, ce qui était exceptionnel pour une voiture de série à l'époque. L'aérodynamique avait été soignée grâce à la mise au point dans le tunnel soufflerie Fiat d'Orbassano.
Disposant d'un chassis tubulaire, plus rigide et plus léger qu'une coque intégrale, la carrosserie en acier était le fruit de l'étude de Rapi.
En 1954, peu de temps avant l'arrêt de sa fabrication, une version prototype avec une carrosserie en fibres de verre a été présentée, mais elle ne connaîtra pas de développement industriel.
114 exemplaires de ce modèle ont été fabriqués, y compris les versions carrossées par Ghia et Siata. D'autres ateliers de carrosserie comme Vignale, Pinin Farina et Zagato réaliseront aussi d'intéressants exemplaires.

Displacing just under two liters, the Tipo 104 motor V8 featured an unusual 70° architecture, as well as advanced racing components such as a finned aluminum sump, forged crankshaft, polished intakes and ports, and tubular 4x1 stainless steel exhaust manifolds. As Giacosa later noted of the V-8 in his autobiography, "the idea of mounting it on a sports car for a small production run was attractive and aroused the keenest interest among the design engineers."
And so was born the Fiat 8V, which featured the only overhead-valve V-8 that Fiat ever built during its long and storied history. Known in Italy as the Otto Vu, the new model was positioned as a luxury grand touring sports car.To maintain the necessary quality-control for such a high-end product, the fabrication of the chassis was farmed out to Giorgio Ambrosini's Siata, the tuning specialists that had long served as Fiat's in-house competition and customization department. This choice was probably further facilitated by Ghia owner Mario Felice Boano's 1950 hiring of Luigi Segre, a former Siata sales manager, as Ghia's sales director.
The Otto Vu made its public debut at the Geneva Salon in March 1952, and immediately impressed all who saw it with Fiat's ability to produce such a jewel-like automobile. Over the following two years, about two hundred tipo 104 motors were produced (though more than fifty of these were eventually installed in the upcoming Siata roadster).
The Otto Vu automobile was even more rare, with approximately 114 examples built through 1954. While at least forty of these cars were bodied with the factory coachwork by Rapi, the other chassis were clothed by coachbuilders such as Balbo, Pinin Farina, Vignale and Zagato.
The 8V Rapi Corsa presented here was delivered new in Milan where it was owned and raced by Scuderia Ambrosiana. The car was fitted with lightweight body and sliding windows, it was raced in the 1953 Mille Miglia finishing 18th overall. Sold to Vincenzo Aurricchio in 1954 and it participated again in the Mille Miglia that same year where it didn’t finish.

The Fiat 8V (or "Otto Vu") is a sports car produced by Fiat from 1952 to 1954. The car was introduced at the 1952 Geneva Motor Show. The 8V got its name because at the time of its making Ford had a copyright on the term V8. Apart from the differential the car did not share any parts with the other Fiats (but many parts were made by Siata and they used them for their cars).
The 8V was developed by Dante Giacosa and the stylist Luigi Rapi. The Fiat V8 had a 70 degree V configuration with up to 1996 cc, at 5600 rpm the engine produced 105 hp in standard form giving a top speed of 190 km/h.
Only 114 of these high-performance coupés had been produced by the time the cars were withdrawn from production in 1954. Nevertheless, they continued to win the Italian 2-litre GT championship every year until 1959.
34 Otto Vu’s had a factory produced bodywork by ‘Carozzeria Speciale’ FIAT. Some cars had the bodywork done by other Italian coachbuilders. Carozzeria Zagato made 30 that they labelled "Elaborata Zagato". Ghia and Vignale also made bodyworks. Most were coupés, but some spyders were made as well.
This particular 8V Zagato was only registered in 1955 by its first owner Lumir Leo Vesely of the Club Scuderia Ital-France, Milano. He participated in 6 races that same year with this car finishing 39th overall in the Mille Miglia.

In the postwar years, Fiat was working on an eight-cylinder engine which was internally known as Tipo 106. Dante Giacosa originally designed the engine for a luxury sedan, but then that project stopped. Rudolf Hruska, at the time working at S.I.A.T.A., was given the task to design a car around the V8 engine. Development took place in absolute secrecy. To not stress the experimental department of Fiat, S.I.A.T.A took up the production of the chassis. Styled by chief designer Fabio Luigi Rapi, the Fiat 8V or OttoVù was presented to the Italian press in February 1952 and first exhibited in the following March at the Geneva Motor Show.
The Fiat 8V prototype used an art deco grill that extended into the hood. A second series was made featuring four headlights with some of the later cars have a full-width windscreen. A high-performance coupé destined to compete in the GT class, the 2-litre 8V model, was a departure from the usual Fiat production. It was well accepted by Italian private drivers and tuners and was the car to beat in the 2-litre class, also thanks to the unique versions built by Zagato or Siata. The Fiat V8 had a 70-degree V configuration of up to a 1996 cc of volume, at 5600 rpm the engine produced 105 hp (78 kW) in standard form with two two-barrel Weber 36 DCS carburettors giving a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph). Some engines were fitted with substantial four-throat Weber 36 IF4/C carburettors offering 120 bhp, but the intake manifold was very rare. The Fiat 8V is the only eight-cylinder built by Fiat. The engine was connected to a four-speed gearbox. The shapes of the car have seen several changes over time: the prototype had an art deco grille that extended into the bonnet. A second series was made with four headlights; finally, some of the latest cars had a large windshield without divisions. Only 114 of this high-performance coupé were produced, 63 of which with a “Fiat Carrozzerie Speciali” body, 34 first-series and 29 second-series. It was made available in different body styles, offered by the factory and by various coachbuilders like Zagato, Pinin Farina, Ghia and Vignale. The production ceased in 1954.

Delivered new to Heilbronn, Germany, this unrestored 8V Rapi was bought early in its life by Larry Vivian, a US soldier remaining in Germany, during the cold war. Larry raced the car in Germany and took it with him to the US and kept it until some 5 years ago, when it moved to Belgium. Larry was the second owner and has had the car over 40 years while keeping it totally original with only 47.000 kms on the odometer. Incredible archive photos come with the car even photos when it was transported by air plane.

The Bianchina Panoramica was technically based on the estate version of the Fiat 500: the Giardiniera.
The Bianchina series was designed by Luigi Rapi (1902- ).
The first series had a roll-top roof. From 1962 a steel roof was also available. A minor facelift followed in 1965.
The Autobianchi automotive company was founded in 1955 by a cooperation between Bianchi, Pirelli and Fiat. Autobianchi became a full part of Fiat S.A. in 1968. It was put under control of the also new acquired Lancia brand. Gradually the production of own models stopped and were sold as Lancia, like the Autobianchi A112, which finally became Lancia A112.

Sesuai yang direncanakan jauh jauh hari. Seneca mengagendakan Kanekes sebagai tujuan explorasi budaya Indonesia dalam rangka mewujudkan karakter cinta akan adat dan budaya Indonesia dan pemenuhan agenda tahunan rencana kerja Seneca sebagai oboz Jungle Ghost wilayah Bogor.
Penulis beserta istri telah berada di Jakarta mulai tgl 13 Mei 2015. Kami dijemput oleh saudara kami yang admin di Pendaki Gunung Indonesia juga beliau ikut dalam kepengurusan Jungle Ghost , saudara Rizal yang lebih dikenal sebagai juragan outdpor equipment online Sogo Jongkok.
Menginap dirumah beliau itu serasa di rumah sendiri. Banyak yang kami bicarakan.
Mengenai keluarga dan banyak hal seputar dunia pendakian.
Tepat pukul 6.00 tgl 14 Mei 2015 kami diantar ke stasiun Tanah Abang dengan mobil baru beliau. Hehe, selamat ya bang Sogo.
Di Stasiun Tanah Abang telah berkumpul kawan kawan dari Bogor, Jogjakarta dan Surabaya. Menggunakan kereta api Rangkas Jaya tepat pukul 08.00. Ketua Tim Expedisi Add Classic tampak sibuk mengurusi segala sesuatu dibantu Andri Maula Daisuki.
Stasiun Tanah Abang terkenal stasiun paling padat dan ramai di Jakarta. Di sini ada grosir pakaian terbesar di kawasan Jakarta.
Seperti biasa, kawan kawan memang tidak pernah bisa sepi. Ramai pembawaan kalau sudah berkumpul. Seakan gerbong 5 saat itu resmi menjadi milik Jungle Ghost.
Pukul 11.00 tiba di Rangkas Bitung. Sempat molor 1 jam, kami melanjutkan perjalanan ke Ciboleger Lebak Banten dengan menggunakan mobil Elf.
Perjalanan normal biasanya mwnurut kang Mickey, sopir, 2 jam . Akan tetapi kita akan tiba dalam 3 jam kali ini. Masih ada perbaikan jalan yang panjang dengan sistem buka tutup jalan di Cimarga.
Terkantuk kantuk kami dalam Elf. Struktur jalan yang rusak membuat perjalanan terasa lama dan kurang nyaman. Canda tawa mengurangi penat sesekali terdengar. Namun tidur lebih dipilih para peserta expedisi. Menyiapkan fisik sebelum trekking dimulai.
Tiba di Ciboleger pukul 15.30.
Akhirnya.
Terminal Ciboleger lebih bisa disebut pool terakhir mobil mobil penyedia layanan transportasi Rangkas Ciboleger. Dan kami lihat berjejer rapi mobil mobil pribadi para pemgunjung wisata Baduy. Ada toko Alfamart dan banyak toko yang menyediakan pernak pernik dan buah tangan di Ciboleger.
Pukul 15.00 kami tiba di Ciboleger. Segera menuju rumah makan untuk beristirahat dan sholat. Kang Jamal mempersilahkan kami untuk rehat sejenak sebelum memulai perjalanan ke Baduy Luar.
Di Ciboleger kita sudah bisa melihat interaksi warga dan orang orang suku Kanekes baik luar mau pun dalam. Untuk bisa membedakan Baduy Luar dan Baduy Dalam kita bisa melihat dari pakaian dan alas kaki.
Orang orang Baduy Dalam tidak beralas kaki dan hannya memakai baju putih atau hitam dan samping / kain yg dilipat srpwrti sarung sampai lutut berwarna hitam garis garis putih dg ikat kepala putih.
Sedang Baduy Luar lebih berwarna dengan samping batik biru dan kebaya beragam warna tapi lebih dominan berwarna ungu tua.
Makan siang yang nikmat. Walau terasa aneh. Makan di rumah makan dengan menu timbel bekal kawan kawan Seneca Bogor. Hoho. Kami hanya memesan sedikit lauk tambahan dan air mineral. Hoho Jungle Ghost begitu orang orangnya. wink emotikon
Selepas ashar kami berangkat dipandu kang Jamal, asli Baduy.
200 meter menanjak gapura selamat datang di Baduy sudah menyambut. Kanan kiri rumah panggung kayu berdinding bilik bambu berderet rapi. Tertata rapi menjadi obyek pameran pengunjung, sisi terluar Kanekes yang indah bagi pengunjung yang datang sekedar berekreasi di Ciboleger.
Gadis gadis penenun memperagakan kepiawiannya menenun kain dengan corak khas Baduy, ayunan bayi dari kain tergantung depan rumah meninabobokan sang bayi menjadi pemandangan khas yang mengagumkan. Pola pengasuhan yang indah.
Ada sekitar 40 rumah di area tersebut. Sampai pada batas jalanan berbatu dengan pepohonan rimbun menurun. Aura mistis mulai menyergap. Dingin. Seakan ini adalah pintu sebenarnya. Dan benar saja.
Saat kami mulai masuk, segera kami melihat hutan, sungai besar.
Perjalanan sesungguhnya dimulai. Kami langsung asyik dengan trek yang berbatu, naik turun. Keringat bercucuran. Ini tidak jauh berbeda dengan pendakian. Kalori yang terbakar sama saja.
Sesekali tawa kami berderai. Bercanda sepanjang jalan. Damai kami sepanjang jalur. Berpapasan dengan para warga Baduy. Keramahan yang bisa kami tangkap dari keseharian mereka. Jujur saya menyukai penampilan fisik orang Baduy. Tampan dan cantik. Kulit mereka bersih.
Jembatan yang melintasi sungai sangat eksotik. Campuran material kayu, bambu dan tali ijuk yang menunjukkan arsitektur yang luar biasa telah diperlihatkan di sini.
Lebih dari dua jam kami menyusuri Baduy Luar, tiga kampung terlewati. Ada sekilas sekelompok anak bermain bola dengan kostum Barcelona dan Real Madrid. Baduy Luar sudah bisa bertransformasi budaya. Walau adat tetap mereka pertahankan dengan ketat.
Sampai pada jembatan sungai yang entah keberapa kalinya, sampai juga di Cikakal Muara. Tempat kami akan menginap malam ini. Dua rumah panggung berhadapan telah disiapkan kang Jamal. Segera kami menghempaskan badan.
Keringat telah kering. Saatnya mandi membersihkan badan. Dan itu berarti sungai.
Menjelang magrib kami tiba di Cikakal Muara. Dua rumah panggung khas Baduy Luar menjadi tempat peristirahatan. Untuk membersihkan badan ada kamar mandi kecil, tapi tidak kami indahkan. Sungai lebih menarik. Segera kami berlarian.
Kampung Cikakal Muara di apit dua sungai. Sebelah timur lebih besar , di sebelah barat lebih kecil tapi kejernihan dan tingkat derasnya lebih. Diputuskan yang laki laki di sebelah timur, wanita sebaliknya. Mengenai dua aliran sungai ini akan kita bahas dibagian lebih lanjut.
Mandi bersama di sungai mempunyai nuansa tersendiri. Pelepas lelah perjalanan, mengembalikan memori indah masa kecil. Tanpa ragu semua menceburkan diri. Sayang batuannya besar besar dan tidak ada ceruk yang dalam. Tidak memungkinkan untuk bermain lompat dan salto ke air. Bahkan ada hal menarik yang lucu dan memancing tawa berderai. Saat Defan gosok gigi. Mulut Defan sudah berbusa pasta gigi, saat hendak berkumur, ada " sesuatu" yang mengikuti aliran air. Sontak semua tertawa. Defan kebingungan, wajahnya sedikit pucat dengan sikat gigi yang masih tergigit dan berbusa.
Aha...
Malam beranjak larut, suasana Cikakal Muara begitu hening. Tidak ada penerangan listrik. Sepertinya orang Baduy memang segera beranjak ke peraduan saat gelap menyelimuti. Rahasia hidup sehat yang luar biasa. Dalam hati saya bergumam " pantas saja orang Baduy tampak cerah dan kuat. Pagi bekerja keras, malam mereka segera tidur tanpa sedikit pun terkena radiasi cahaya lampu listrik. Teringat hadits Nabi yang menyuruh kita memadamkan lampu saat tidur. Sungguh benar apa yang Beliau perintahkan".
Para wanita peserta expedisi sudah terlelap, lain halnya dengan para lelaki. Menyeduh kopi dan mengobrol sampai larut. Rupanya materi pernikahan sangat menarik bagi mereka. Entah karena suasana yang sepi atau cahaya bulan sedikit menerobos dari balik pepohonan yang membangkitkan endorphin malam itu.
Sebagai pelaku pernikahan, penulis hanya bisa menunggu kabar baik.
Jumat,15 Mei 2015, selesai sarapan kami bersiap. Setelah mandi di sungai besar, sarapan , kami berkemas kembali. Kali ini kami bersiap menuju Cibeo. Suku Baduy Luar yang terdekat dengan Cikakal Muara ( Baduy Luar). Kang Jamal , pemandu kami menjelaskan kepada peserta bahwa untuk mencapai Baduy Dalam estimasi waktu sekitar 4- 5 jam dengan kondisi perjalanan naik turun bukit dan menghimbau agar peserta bisa membawa diri, tidak terpencar, dan sembarangan dalam melintasi area Baduy karena ada banyak wilayah pribadi yang menjadi adat masyarakat Baduy. Pun untuk tidak mengambil gambar selepas jembatan gantung terakhir
Pukul 08.00 , kami berangkat, dan betul saja perjalanan memang naik turun bukit. Keringat segera saja membasahi tubuh kami, tapi tidak usah khawatir, persediaaan air minum melimpah, dan banyak penjaja minuman di jalur menuju Cibeo.
Sepanjang jalur terkadang kami bertemu dengan warga Baduy Dalam, kecantikan paras seorang anak perempuan menarik perhatian kami. saat melepas lelah dan bertanya pada keluarganya tentang perawatan wajah, mereka menunjukkan Kicaang, daun yang memang mereka pergunakan untuk perawatan wajah. Luar biasa, alam memberikan lebih bagi siapa saja yang tinggal dan menetap serta menjaga alam dalam kondioisi baik.
Pukul 13.00 kami sampai di Cibeo, disambut Jaro Mursyid, puun setempat atau sesepuh Cibeo. Para Jungle Ghost berkumpul dan bersila di rumah Jaro Mursyid. Menikmati hidangan air minum dalam gelas bambu yang segar. Segera saja ,kami terlibat perbincangan yang seru dan menarik setelah sedikit perkenalan.
Banyak hal yang Jaro Murssyid ajarkan kepada kami, tentang legenda Gunung Kendeng, adat istiadat baduy, filosofi mereka tentang alam, dan upaya menjaga adat dan alam tempat tinggal mereka. Kami juga menyampaikan tentang Jungle Ghost, beliau tampak tertarik dan bangga dengan upaya Jungle Ghost yang berusaha menjadi kelompok masyarakat hutan. Pesan beliau adalah terus gelorakan kembali semangat perbaikan dalam diri manusia, semangat kembali ke alam. Pesan beliau yang banyak tercatat dalam sanubari para Jungle Ghost adalah " hade alamna, hade manusana" ( Kalau alamnya baik, berarti manusianya baik). Luar biasa, petuah yang sangat mendinginkan hati, tidak sia sia kami melakukan perjalanan.
Dua jam kami berbincang, hujan turun. Hari merambat sore, setelah reda, kami berpamitan kepada Jaro Mursyid dan para pengawal yang berada di luar rumah panggung. Tanpa harus melihat seperti apa, kami sudah bisa membayangkan bagaimana para ibu adalah madrasah pertama dan utama dalam membina generasi muda, rumah adat utama yang menjadi tempat berkumpul dan bermusyawarah, juga tentang Kawalu ,hari raya mereka. Prinsip perkawinan yang luar biasa, apa yang telah disatukan adat, tidak boleh diceraikan kecuali kematian. Proses penguburan sederhana, tanpa nisan, yang pergi biarlah pergi. Sungguh saya ingin menetap disini.
15.00, kami pulang, menapaki jalan semula kami datang. Beribu perasaan berkecamuk, sedikit yang tertawa dan banyak merenung sepanjang perjalanan. Kami menuju Cikakal Muara kembali untuk menginap semalam lagi dan esok pulang. jungleghost.org/ekspedisi-budaya-seneca-kanekes-baduy-leb...

One of the may postwar Fiat-powered "Etceterini", Stanguellini was based in Modena. Designed by Luigi Rapi, the 1100 Stanguellini enjoyed many motor sport successes. This car, with an 1100 cc engine tuned by Carlo Abarth, was ordered in 1951 by Mario Torti from Milan. Its elegant bodywork was the result of a collaboration between Nuccio Bertone and Vittorio Stanguellini.
