Alfredo Vignale opened his shop in 1948, and by 1953 the Carrozzeria Vignale stand at the Torino Motor Show was filled with show cars, including an amazing Fiat 1100 Coupe dressed with a body penned by one of the most gifted automotive designers of the time, Giovanni Michelotti.
The Fiat offered here is one of only two known 1100 Coupes bodied by Vignale in this design, and visual evidence suggests that it was shown in Torino, but it is thus far impossible to state this conclusively. Admired for its deceptively simple design and countless fascinating details, the Vignale Coupe is as sporting as it is sophisticated.
