  • ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale Hosts Exclusive Livestreaming Sale from Four Locations as Part of FCA Inaugural CPOV Meeting CARMEL, Ind. – September 19, 2019 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketing and technology solutions provider KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE: KAR), partnered with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to pilot an ADESA Simulcast sale outside of the physical auction sale-day environment. As part of FCA’s inaugural national CPOV (certified preowned vehicle) dealer meeting, vehicles were launched into auction from four ADESA auction locations — ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Indianapolis, ADESA Kansas City and ADESA Las Vegas. FCA CPO dealers attending the event were able to participate in fast, live bidding action. “We were extremely pleased to work with our strong partners at FCA to demonstrate the powerful potential of ADESA Simulcast to this sophisticated and tech savvy group of dealers,” said John Hammer, ADESA president. “ADESA Simulcast allows us to bring the auction right to our dealers — exposing sellers to a broader buyer base and helping buyers access the hard-to- find inventory they need. We were honored to pilot this with FCA and to add to the excitement and energy of their annual meeting.” Launched earlier this year, ADESA Simulcast is a cloud-based auction solution that allows dealers to participate virtually in multiple in-lane sales occurring in any location. As part of ADESA Simulcast, participating dealers can easily access detailed condition reports, photos, valuation tools and transportation options for purchased vehicles. The FCA sale was the first use of the technology to launch from multiple sites in a non-sale-day environment to a defined, exclusive group of dealers.

    NEW Press Information Coburg, December 10th, 2010 NEW 2 The legend returns. The NEW STRATOS will be officially presented on 29./30.11.2010, at the Paul Ricard Circuit in Le Castellet. The legendary Lancia Stratos HF was without a doubt the most spectacular and successful rally car of the 70s. With its thrilling lines and uncompro- mising design tailored to rally use, the Stratos not only single-handedly rewrote the history of rallying, it won a permanent place in the hearts of its countless fans with its dramatic performance on the world’s asphalt and gravel tracks – a performance which included three successive world championship titles. For Michael Stoschek, a collector and driver of historic racing cars, as well as a successful entrepreneur in the automotive supply industry, the development and construction of a modern version of the Stratos represents the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Back in 2003, the dream had already begun to take on a concrete form; now, at last, it has become a reality: In November 2010, forty years after the Stratos’ presentation at the Turin Motor Show, the New Stratos will be publicly presented for the first time at the Paul Ricard Circuit. The legend returns. NEW 3 A retrospective. It all began in 1970, at the Turin exhibition stand of the automobile designer, Bertone. The extreme Stratos study on display there – a stylistic masterpiece by the designer Marcello Gandini – didn’t just excite visitors, but caught the attention of Cesare Fiorio, Lancia’s team manager at the time… and refused to let go.

  • Philip Morris, Marlboro Press Car 1974 Lancia Stratos Stradale Chassis Number: 829 AR0 001003 Body Number: 1240/4 Engine Number: 829A 000 001074
    ! The Ex - Philip Morris, Marlboro Press Car 1974 Lancia Stratos Stradale Chassis Number: 829 AR0 001003 Body Number: 1240/4 Engine Number: 829A 000 001074 • The third Lancia Stratos Stradale ever produced, numbered 1003 with body number 4 and finished in Rosso. Sold to Philip Morris Cigarettes in 1974 and used by them in Marlboro livery as a press car. Present at many race, rally and show events, 1003 remained in Marlboro colours through the ‘70s. • Ownership was transferred to Charles Stewart & Co Ltd in England in 1980, the British affiliate of Philip Morris International. 1003 remained in Marlboro colours through the ownership of Charles Stewart & Co Ltd, and was sold to the current, and first private owner in 1999. Used enthusiastically in the current ownership, 1003 has been subject of extensive work which included engine rebuild, suspension rebuilt and repaint. • Presented today remaining fresh from rebuild, and liveried once more in the iconic Marlboro colours it wore from new. • One of the earliest remaining Lancia Stratos Stradale, one of only a handful of cars to ever be owned by Philip Morris Cigarettes and wear the Marlboro livery, 1003 sits in an special group of historically significant Lancia. Having previously collaborated on designs with Pininfarina, Lancia became the focus of Carrozzeria Bertone. With Bertone wanting to work with Lancia, they set about penning a design to capture the imagination of the fellow Turninese firm. Bertone was aware that Lancia was looking for a replacement for the Fulvia with a view for use in competition, so set about creating a striking masterpiece around the running gear of a Fulvia Coupé.

  • 15 Questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA
    15 questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA Please introduce yourselves and your company. What is your company’s field of expertise? Maasmeier: My partners Matthias Hinz and Lukas Mühlemann are passionate classic car lovers – just like me. We have been collecting classic cars for decades. This passion for classic cars has brought us together, regardless of national borders. We have long been looking for the perfect restoration, but our expectations remained unfulfilled. Eventually, we decided to take matters into our own hands and founded SCUDERIA AZZURRA. We are offering classic Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lancia on the international market. All cars have been restored in top condition exclusively by us in our own workshop. Using original components, we restore the cars completely, from car body, engine and gearboxes to technology. When did you fall for classic automobiles? Was there a key experience in your childhood/youth that turned you into a classic car lover? Hinz: I bought my first classic car, then a rather modern classic, at the age of 18. It was a 1968 VW Beetle Convertible. With the help of an alleged expert, I gained a first insight into car restoration. I discovered my passion for Italian sports cars in the early 90s. I read an article on a Lancia Flaminia Touring Coupé in a magazine for classic cars and it was love at first sight. I was so excited that I took the next opportunity and bought one in the US, without even looking at it beforehand. Maasmeier: My father was a true sports car fan and owned a Jaguar.

Belt length, tensioner and pulleys all have all undergone small changes - and not necessarily the same for Alfa, Lancia and Fiat - in an effort to improve drive performance. As a result, the Fiat group now only offers 1 belt size for this drive: the OE/OES references are 55189679 and 71734476. the Gates Micro-V® XF replacement belt is 6PK1835. This means that the 6PK1840 that was previously recommended on some of these applications, should no longer be installed on this 1.9 JTD + AC drive.

    The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 35D HISTORY OF DESIGN DEPARTMENT The Museum of Modern Art has had a long history, dating back to 1936, of working with industry and government to improve the quality of industrial and architectural design, and to increase public awareness of the importance of environmental needs. Competitions and exhibi­ tions organized by the Museum's Department of Architecture and Design have resulted in such classics of contemporary design as the chairs designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. Experience has shown that this form of cooperation has made it possible for many new design ideas to enter public conscious­ ness, thus helping to make them a reality. THE TAXI PROJECT: REALISTIC SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY is the fourth Museum of Modern Art exhibition devoted to automobiles. 8 AUTOMOBILES, the first car exhibition to be held in an art museum, was organized in 1951. It dealt with the aesthetics of the auto­ mobile as a work of art as well as the problems of passenger-car design. The eight automobiles selected were: the 1931 Mercedes SS (German); the Army Jeep, manufactured by the Willys-Overland Motor Co. (American); the MG, built by Morris Car Co. (British); the 1939 Bentley (British); the 1949 Cisitalia, designed by Pinin Farina (Italian); the Talbot sport and touring car (French); the 1937 Cord (American); and the 1941 Lincoln Continental (American). In 1953, The Museum of Modern Art presented 10 AUTOMOBILES in the Museum's garden. Included were postwar American and European cars designed for mass-production, re­ vealing a strong Italian design influence.
