  • Lancia Ca 1961 Appia Gte Zagato 2707 Sold
    LANCIA CA 1961 APPIA GTE ZAGATO 2707 SOLD Lancia 1961 Appia GTE At the November 1958 Turin Motor Show the new Lancia Appia GTE (standing for Gran Turismo Esportazione) was introduced, and deliveries started in January 1959 The GTE marked an important change in the relationship between Zagato and Lancia: it was the first Zagato car to be included in Lancia’s price lists and sold by Lancia dealers. For Lancia Zagato went from a buyer of chassis to an official supplier of specially bodied finished cars. First shown to the public at the 1958 Turin Motor Show, the first GTEs were delivered in early 1959. GTE bodywork was more low slung and streamlined than its predecessors’. The car had a continuous waistline, without the previous humps over the rear wheels; the nose was longer, V.O.F.

At the rear the tail lights were partially sunken in and crowned by protrusions in the bodywork. The GTE went through numerous updates. In the Spring 1959 chassis upgraded to third series specifications were phased in. From the autumn newly enacted Italian traffic laws prohibited headlights cover. GTEs for Italy and some export countries had open headlights, and modified bodywork setting them further forward. During 1960 the improved Lancia V4 engine of 1089cc which developed 60 HP was adopted. The engine had a new Weber carburetor and an inlet manifold with a duct per each cylinder.

  • The People Who Keep Old Cars Alive
    Feature 20 Top Restorers The People Who Keep Old Cars Alive ost of us have bought — or owned — a great old car that needed some help. Perhaps it needed new body M panels, rust repair to the frame and an engine rebuild. Maybe it needed some light bodywork and new paint. Or in an extreme — but not especially rare — case it crashed and burned and needed an entire rebuild. Over the past few decades, a special breed of mechanics, technicians and historians have made it their life’s work to bring old cars back from the dead — or just keep them running. Without them, our world would be a lot rustier, noisier, more dangerous and, yes, sadder. SCM Publisher Keith Martin is no stranger to the restoration shop, and he came up with the notion of recognizing a few of the elite people in the restoration world. We reached out to SCM readers, and we got hundreds of nominations. The selection process was tough. Yet, like a good resto tech, we pressed on, and here are SCM’s Top 20. — Executive Editor Chester Allen Courtesy of The Creative Workshop 62 SportsSports Car Market Car Market Feature 20 Top Restorers Richard Barnes Ed Barr Company: Paul Russell and Company Company: McPherson College Location: Essex, MA Location: McPherson, KS Specialty: Automobile upholstery resto- Specialty: Sheet metal ration (coach trimmer).
