1953 | FIAT 1100-103 TV Vignale

A unique piece based on the chassis and mechanics of the 1953 FIAT 1100 E, delivered to the Vignale coachbuilding company in Turin. During that period, the renowned designer Giovanni Michelotti was an external consultant for Vignale and received the commission to design a coupe body for Maria Enrichetta "Marichetta" Stoppa, known for her roles in films from 1937 to 1943 and later as a dancer at the Teatro La Scala in Milan. From Michelotti's genius and pencil emerged a masterpiece of style and design: typical features of the period with a strongly lowered roof that gives it a pronounced sporty accent and two rear fins, very much in vogue at the time, influenced by American-made cars. The two-tone color scheme, blue and pastel gray, highlights the sporty yet elegant style desired by Michelotti. A bespoke car for a woman whose elegance was renowned in artistic circles.
