Between 1938 and 1952, Lancia built around 23,000 Ardea saloons and estate cars (Furgoncino). They were all very advanced, exceptionally compact and economical. However, the convertible, which Pininfarina built on the Ardea basis and which turned the small car into a fresh air fun for the small (and wealthy) family, remained really rare. This report portrays one of the few Pininfarina convertibles and goes into the development history of the Lancia Ardea with pictures and text.
Today, most people know the Lancia brand for models such as the Stratos, Delta and Thema. But 80 years ago and more, the Turin-based manufacturer was already shining with pioneering cars such as the Ardea, a four-door small car with excellent use of space and a five-speed gearbox. This driving report discusses the history and technology of the small Lancia and shows it in many current and old pictures, as well as in the sales literature of the time.
