#cassonato

This rare veichle is a Fiat 600 Multipla pick-up (Cassonato), one of the rarest and least-documented variants of the entire Multipla family. This is not a modern or improvised conversion, but a genuine period commercial version, produced in extremely small numbers and today almost never encountered, especially in a complete and coherent state like this example. The starting point is the…

Patina monster/7: 1960 Alfa Romeo “Romeo 2°” Cassonato

We could not fail to publish this wonderful Alfa Romeo pickup truck based on the “Romeo 2 °” model as it is the first time we see one. In fact, we thought that these pickups were only a prerogative of the A12 model while the Romeo 2 ° was built only in the “closed” version: it is evident that we have some gaps on the subject that need to be filled.

One family rig: 1958 Lanca Appia Cassonato

It hasn’t been long (about a month) since we last released a similar vehicle, but to be honest we don’t mind repeating ourselves as this one seems in better condition than the first one. Apart from the rarity of the vehicle, obviously, with regard to this Appia it is worth pointing out that – according to the seller – this specimen has belonged to the same family since new and has always been…
