6C 1750 Flying Star

[2000 touring sp]

Here are some periodic pictures of the Flying Star The IF. AR1750GS. Fiat 522C.
The IF vas presented first time at the Milan Motor Show 16-27 April 1931.
I think its worth the money, compared to the pictures it seems to be a very accurate restoration

If I remember correctly, the FIAT was off white with light grey fenders...

Thanks Johnnie for this link
The first one, must be the PininFarina Alfa Romeo 1900 TI.I have only seen picture fragments, nice to se it in whole pictures. My impression was that it was lost

Interesting, I have always had the impression that it was a one off. I have seen a few pictures of the 1900 TI, now one in full car sice, so I haven't had the opportunity to judge.
Was it on this forum that you posted the pictures you mentioned. To me its a interesting car as it is the 1900 Berlina chassis that is used. Not many special bodies on these chassis.

I found the link to those photos from a thread on fchat, I can find it again but there wasn't much information in the post. Given the number of unusual Alfas pictured, I thought it would be appreciated here too.

The other 2 Alfa Romeo from the tread you gave
Alfa Romeo 2000 Vignale from about 1959/60 the silver one
The cabriolet is a Stabilimento Farina 6C2500. It has a interesting front design, a new way to interpretative the Alfa grill. But it was actually presented first time on a Fiat 1400.Its a design by Michelotti,and it looks right on the Alfa, in my eyes

Here is some link to a period Alfa 1900TI Pininfarina photo:

Here is a Pininfarina bodied 1900 coupe that I don't think has been poted here before:

Nice picture of the Pinin Ferina 1900 TI, one could easily think it was used during the restoration. Did you have further pictures
The one from barchetta is a Ghia Aigle second halves of the 50. Ghia Aigle did produce a few diff. designs on the 1900 chassis. Ghia Aigle was an independent company, that had licensed the use of the name Ghia. Among others they produces a wonderful 1900 in Frua design Coupe and Spider. After Frua closed his own carrozzeria he did several design for Ghia Aigle
