Dear friends,
first of all I have to apologize that I am such a lazy writer in the last weeks. But due to some changes in my office my time is currently a bit limited
My aim is to change this as soon as possible
Many thanks for starting a new thread about the mystery 6C2500 that I found in the book about the art-work of Publifoto!
Be assured that before I start a topic about a mystery car, I check my files and books carefully! And I really found nothing about this car! So the answer will not be obvious in the Anselmi 6C2500 book!
That makes it even more interesting
My thoughts about the car are indeed very ambivalent.....
This 6C2500 obviously carries style elements of the post- and prewar period. This fits the date 1948 in the text below the photo. The form of the body clearly shows the latest style elements of the postwar period, whereas the funny mother-in-law-seat in the rear is a typical prewar element.
I think it's evident that we are talking about a one-off.
So it looks to me it as if the design of the car was very much influenced by the customer who ordered it. This could explain the unique styling and the mixture of style-elements.
Ordering such a one-off car during the period short after the war, meant of course that the customer must have been very wealthy!
I wouldn't be surprised if the car was shown at some Concours events, at the Villa d'Este, Villa Olmo or so. Btw, I checked the Villa d'Este book also, but without result.
About the coachbuilder, I also have Boneschi or Ghia "under suspect".
But that's just guessing
We should further not exclude the possibility that this here is a rebodied early chassis....
Anyway, I will try to post a better scan maybe that helps.
Best regards
Ciao Carlo
