1953 FIAT 8V Supersonic - Sold for $1,815,000 |
|
The Supersonic has gone on to be recognized as one of Ghia's most seminal designs. No less an authority on coachwork than Howard "Dutch" Darrin visited the Ghia factory during Supersonic production and was so impressed that he ordered two Ghia-bodied Fiats, including a Supersonic that he sold to movie star Lana Turner. Now a darling with collectors because of their impressive Otto Vu mechanicals and spectacular body design, the 8V Supersonic has evolved into one of today's most desirable collectible Italian sports cars, combining rarity, cutting-edge mechanical specifications, and coachbuilt beauty. | |
