Lancia Aurelia 1950 – 2020 Timeless Myth MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile di Torino LANCIA AURELIA 1950 – 2020 TIMELESS MYTH January 30, 2020 - May 3, 2020 MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile di Torino dedicates a retrospective exhibition to the fabulous Lancia Aurelia, one of the most advanced and refined cars of the Italian postwar production and a symbol of the extraordinary economic growth of Italy of those years. The exhibition will be open to the public from January 30 to May 3, 2020. Turin, January 30, 2020. MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile di Torino opens the exhibition LANCIA AURELIA 1950 – 2020. TIMELESS MYTH, an extraordinary exhibition divided into two sections that tells, through 18 exceptional standard and custom-built specimens, the evolution of this model, which was first presented in Turin in 1950. The Lancia Aurelia became popular all over the world as an expression of pure elegance, based on an ideal of polished simplicity, right from its first appearance, thanks to the successful creative and design partnership with Battista Pinin Farina. It was so successful as to be also featured in famous movies like "Il sorpasso” starring Vittorio Gassman and “Et Dieu créa la femme” starring Brigitte Bardot, which turned it into a worldwide icon of style. On the other hand, its technological contents, the result of technical collaborations with talented designers like Vittorio Jano and Francesco De Virgilio, imposed the Lancia brand as synonym with performance and sports cars and had legions of passionate collectors fall in love with the Aurelia. Just to name a few: the first 6V engine (which Ferrari engineers took inspiration from when designing the Dino 1500 cc); the aluminum die-cast engine block; the independent wheel rear suspension system; the rear position of the gear-change/engine to balance the car weight; the rear breaks in the same block as the engine in order to reduce the weight of suspended masses, which enhanced the grip. Lancia was also helped by the valuable collaboration of highly specialized suppliers. They included Nardi, whose two and six carburetors induction manifolds enhanced the performance of Aurelia engines, improving its power, acceleration and speed, and whose elegant steering wheels consecrated the Italian style, and Pirelli, which launched, smack on time in 1951, the Cinturato, an innovative belted radial tire, which provided the whole Aurelia range with better driving precision and grip. A "city" car, whose sports lines accommodate the engine and mechanical features that make it a top-performing car also in races. In fact, the Aurelia was extraordinarily successful also in some of the main races of that time: Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Giro di Sicilia, 24 Ore di Le Mans, Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti, and many others. Cherished by Hemingway and Fausto Coppi, praised by Juan Manuel Fangio, who likened it to a "cup of maté" - the infusion that gives men from the Andes strength and self-confidence - the Lancia Aurelia is rightly considered "a magic moment in car evolution"(Massimo Fila Robattino, curator of the exhibition). “Timeless myth," says Benedetto Camerana, the Chairman of MAUTO, "celebrates the 70 years of the Lancia Aurelia, in its diverse and attractive versions: a bright symbol of the history of Italy, which summarizes the renewed trust in the future after the tragic wartime events and the industrial revival, which combined the Turinese ingenuity in mechanical engineering and design and the best suppliers, symbols of Italian quality. These are the ingredients of a car that became popular all over the world as an icon of beauty, technique, pleasure of living. The evidence of this are international awards, celebrity customers in the past and collectors today, movie productions and even comics. A product that joins Vittorio Jano and Brigitte Bardot defines ideally the universal value of the car. So, Mauto adds an important chapter to its constant work of investigation and representation of the role played by the car in the history of the 20th century." THE EXHIBITION TRAIL "Telling the story of the Lancia Aurelia”, says Massimo Fila Robattino, the curator of the exhibition “means reporting the great desire for redemption that animated Italy in the postwar hardship, which resulted in a car that would have been impossible to make just a few years earlier and that, even in those years, when the economy had still to prove that it was capable to start again, was a bold challenge." The exhibition starts with a 1948 Lancia Aprilia Bilux Pinin Farina, of which some aspects anticipate the stylistic features that will characterize the Aurelia to come. So, the B10, the first Lancia Aurelia, which was presented on a lawn in the 1950 edition of the Turin Car Show in obedience to the will of Adele Lancia, the chairman of the company back then, is displayed on a green panel. There follows a range of continuously evolving models, which always amazed the public, although people were already used to the top quality offered by the Turin- based car manufacturer. The B10 is followed by the B12, whose body and mechanical parts were reviewed, resulting in a substantial increase in the horsepower compared to the previous model, and the adoption of a semi- independent wheel rear suspension system. The sports elegance of the B24 version of the Aurelia, which allowed it to be city car and a powerful racing car at the same time, conquered also the cinema industry. Scenes taken from the movies that made the B24S Convertible and the B24S Spider famous are projected behind two specimens of these cars. The 1957 Florida II, which belonged to Pinin Farina and was lent to Mauto by Pininfarina, close the evolution cycle of the Aurelia. The second section of the exhibition includes unique cars. The B52 made by Bertone for the 1952 edition of the Turin car show; the B53 by Carrozzeria Balbo, the first model designed by Francesco Scaglione; the B53 “Giardinetta” by Viotti; two B50 Pinin Farina, one of which was made as a one-off version property of Princess Furtin Von Bismark. Finally, a B20 GT with the original colors used in the 1953 Mille Miglia, together with six more Gran Turismo units (from series 1 to series 6), a model that achieved great results, like ranking second in the 1951 Mille Miglia with Giovanni Bracco behind its wheel. This section also includes some of the most prestigious trophies conquered by the Lancia Aurelia, footage of the cars during races, and portraits of some “gentlemen drivers”. The narration of the exhibition dedicated to LANCIA AURELIA is based on the catalog edited by Massimo Fila Robattino, the curator of the exhibition, with the contribution of journalist Giosuè Boetto Cohen, which will be on sale at the Mauto bookshop. The exhibition LANCIA AURELIA 1950-2020: TIMELESS MYTH has been organized with the support of Aubay, the European leader in business consulting and information & communication technology, and long-standing Lancia suppliers Nardi and Pirelli, two top Italian manufacturers, which are outstanding players in car history. Pirelli participates in this event and confirms its commitment to the world of vintage cars: some of the Aurelias exhibited here are equipped with the Cinturato CA67, like the cars manufactured in the assembly line in Borgo San Paolo. These tires currently belong to the Pirelli Collezione range: the philosophy behind these products is offering collectors the right tires for the most fascinating cars, like the Lancia Aurelias, maintaining the driving features and the look of that time, yet using new materials and modern manufacturing techniques. We thank also Bontà Classic Garage, a mechanical workshop partner of the museum, which restored the mechanical parts of the LANCIA AURELIA B20S, Series 6 belonging to the MAUTO collection and on display in the exhibition.

This subject was substituted by the author for a more traditional academic subject after a chance discussion with a speaker after a research class that was part of the Masters in Liberal Studies in American Culture program. It is in part a historical project, but it attempts to be a history that attempts to connect developments in the sport to broader themes in the study of American culture. This thesis focuses primarily on three institutions. Waterford Hills Road Racing is a club, founded in 1958 eight near Clarkston Michigan in the shadow of the capitol of the American automobile industry (The track is about two miles away from Chrysler’s headquarters). Waterford dates back almost to the beginning of the modem sport in the early nineteen fifties and in its history has reflected developments in the sport itself. Grattan Raceway in Belding Michigan is a family business.

Allora il punto di riferimento era Ettore con il suo puzzolentissimo Toscano e la Flaminia Sport Zagato. Quando Tu arrivasti Marcello nulla cambiò se non il colore della Flaminia che da rossa divenne grigia. I nostri incontri con le varie piste disseminate in Italia continuarono, permettendoci di conoscere a menadito Imola, Monza, Misano, Vizzola Ticino.........con l’immancabile Toscano. Per assecondare alcuni soci, i quali avevano problemi con le relative mogli che si annoiavano nel vederci per tutto il giorno inanellare giri su giri delle varie piste, incominciammo ad inserire almeno una volta l’anno un raduno che ci portasse a visitare luoghi incantevoli lungo percorsi strettamente cronometrati. Bei tempi quelli in cui riuscimmo ad organizzare, grazie alla Tua guida ed alla Tua pazienza, raduni in tutta Italia, dalla Calabria al Lazio oltre alla Svizzera.

  • KLETTERER War Lancia Damals Bereits Zwei Schritte Weiter
    INFO-SERVICE APRILIA-STORY, TEIL 1 WELTKLASSE- Während sich die Konkurrenz 1936 noch an massiven Kastenrahmen abschleppte und den schwachen Mo- toren die Last von Chassis und Karosserie aufbürdete, KLETTERER war Lancia damals bereits zwei Schritte weiter. Eine selbsttragende Karosserie sorgte für geringes Gewicht bei hoher Festigkeit, Einzelradaufhängung an allen vier Rädern für gediegenen Komfort und hohe Sicherheits- reserven. Ein V-Motor mit engem Zylinderwinkel und 47 PS sorgte für eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 129 km/h. Unter der schönen Schale gab es handfeste technische Finessen. Revolutionär war das Streben nach einer strö- mungsgünstigen Form der Karosserie, der Einsatz des Windkanals der „Politecnico di Torino“ führte zu neuen Erkenntnissen, die das Blechkleid der Aprilia entschei- dend prägten. Der niedrige Cw-Wert von 0,47 ermög- lichte auch einem schwach motorisierten Auto hohe Endgeschwindigkeit und geringen Treibstoffverbrauch. Erreicht wurde die aerodynamische Effizienz durch eine Fließheckform. Die weit öffnenden Türen waren an der A – und C-Säule angeschlagen, Vincenzo Lancia hatte auf den Verzicht der B-Säule ebenso wie auf unsicht- bare Scharniere bestanden, was der Eleganz der Linien außerordentlich zuträglich war. Im Jahr darauf erlag der unermüdliche Vincenzo Lan- cia erst 55-jährig einem Herzinfarkt, den großen Erfolg seiner letzten Schöpfung konnte er nicht mehr miter- leben. Auch nach dem Krieg gehörte ihre avantgar- distische Technik noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen, bis 1949 wurde die Aprilia technisch fast unverändert ge- baut, allerdings mit modernerem Blechkleid. Insgesamt entstanden in Turin rund 27.000 Exemplare der Apri- lia, circa 1620 wurden von 1937 bis 1939 in der fran- zösischen Dependance als baugleiche Lancia Ardennes hergestellt.

  • Aurelia B20 Ii Serie 1952
    Lancia AURELIA B20 II SERIE 1952 HISTORY TECHNICAL DATA GALLERY he Aurelia B20 is unanimously recognized by experts as Pininfarina’s true masterpiece, which was entrusted with the final contract for the mass production of this model. TIn March 1952, on the occasion of the Geneva Motor Show, the B20 2nd series was presented. The car has a modified distribution with a slightly increased compression ratio, unchanged driving torque, but a higher power (80 HP instead of 75) that pushes the car up to 162 kph. The second series stands outwardly for the adoption of new chrome bumpers, for the back of the body where the so-called “tails” (codine in italian) appear and for the addition of a chrome profile under the doors, modifications that contribute to increase the lateral slimness of the car. Inside, the new dashboard features two circular instruments, with a new tachometer. Produced in 731 units from March 1952 to February 1953 in the B20 versions, coupé 2 doors, 2-3 seats and with right-hand drive. ur Lancia Aurelia B20 II Serie Car eligible for the MilleMiglia. It is a unique B20, in good condition and customized according to the requests of its Ofirst owner. This model is considered an “extra series” due to the modification of the floor gearbox, the three-spoke Nardi steering wheel and the original Lancia “Amaranto La Plata” livery. Refined interiors with seats restored to new in double cream and brown coloring. very mechanical component of the car has recently been overhauled, so today this car represents an important opportunity for any collector of the Lancia brand looking for Ea “post war” car with good performance.

  • Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club “Barn Find” at Alfa of Tacoma It was about a week before the Half-fast Lap last September when my friend, Steve Anderson (now a new club member) called, so excited about a “barn find” he had heard about that he couldn’t even wait for me to finish my shower. An uncle, Steve Bates, had been to his house for dinner the night before, and had told of a 1957 Alfa spider that his brother-in-law had taken to Alfa of Tacoma for repairs in 1977 and never picked up. Steve B’s brother-in-law, Phil George, had lived in Richland and acquired the car in about 1967. Steve remembers that Phil drove the car actively, and on one particular “hold on tight” ride, Phil told him that he and the Alfa “became one” when he drove. Steve had his doubts. When the engine began to show problems, Phil brought it to Alfa of Tacoma. Carlo ended up rebuilding the top and bottom ends, the front suspension, the brakes, and replaced the steering box. Carlo knew the car and said Phil had always taken good care of it, but when it came time to pick it up, he couldn’t pay for it. He stopped by often to see it, though. Phil remarried, but his new wife thought he really didn’t need that car, so there it sat, in the second bay from the window, on jack stands and under a cover. Phil died about five years ago and Lino had no idea how to contact any of the family.

PRESENTAZIONE volontari del progetto STAF (Storia della Tecnologia delle Automobili FIAT), istituito nel 2009 al fine di selezionare i disegni tecnici più rilevanti per documentare l’e- I voluzione tecnica delle automobili FIAT, sono venuti a contatto anche con i disegni Lancia, contenuti in una sezione dedicata dell’Archivio Storico FIAT: il materiale vi era stato trasferito quando, nel 1984, la Direzione tecnica di FIAT Auto, il settore aziendale incaricato di progettare le automobili dei marchi FIAT, Lancia e Autobianchi, era stata riunita in un unico fabbricato, all’interno del comprensorio di Mirafiori. Fu nell’oc- casione del ritrovamento di questo nucleo di disegni che i partecipanti al progetto si proposero di applicare il metodo impiegato nel predisporre il materiale raccolto nel libro FIAT, storie di innovazione tecnologica nelle automobili, anche per preparare un libro analogo dedicato alle automobili Lancia. Questo secondo libro, attraverso l’esame dei disegni tecnici, del materiale d’archivio e delle fotografie di automobili sopravvissute, illustra l’evoluzione delle vetture Lancia e i loro contenuti innovativi, spesso caratterizzati da elementi di assoluta originalità. Il reperimento del materiale si è mostrato, tuttavia, più arduo rispetto al lavoro sulle vetture FIAT, almeno per le automobili più anziane, poiché l’archivio dei disegni Lancia era organizzato senza impiegare una struttura logica di supporto, per distinguere agevolmente i diversi gruppi funzionali dai particolari di puro dettaglio.
