Chassis 019195 is a 1953 Fiat 1100 Cabriolet bodied by Carrozzeria Allemano of Turin, with styling attributed to Giovanni Michelotti on the Fiat Nuova 1100 unibody platform. Believed to be one of only four such cabriolets constructed, two of which survive, it was subjected to a high-quality restoration overseen by automotive historian Donald Osborne, returning the car to its original blue exterior and red vinyl interior. A rare and distinctive example of early-1950s Italian coachbuilt design.
