Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wheel covers, whitewalls, Philips radio, leather upholstery.

Condition

Blistered old paint, stiff, cracked interior. No interior details typical of Figoni. A neglected old car that needs everything but is sound and complete. One of six reportedly similarly bodied by Figoni & Falaschi.

Market commentary

A real Figoni & Falaschi with credentials that might get it into desirable concours. So, apparently, were others who bid on the body tag with little attention to the bulbous style, the anemic engine or the near-derelict condition. When this happens it's best to let the bidders set the mark and stand back to watch for further developments.
