01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Fiat 2100 sedan, crafted by Carrozzeria Savio in 1961, is a unique example of Italian automotive artistry. Built on the sturdy Fiat 2100 chassis, this bespoke sedan reflects Savio’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship. Notably, this one-of-a-kind vehicle stands out not only for its design but also for its intriguing history and connection to the Italian automotive scene of the early 1960s. Earlier, Savio had made waves at the Turin Motor Show by unveiling a similar model in a two-door coupe format based on the Fiat 1500 chassis. This earlier design showcased Savio’s ability to create stylish, elegant vehicles that captured the imagination of car enthusiasts and collectors alike. The Fiat 2100 sedan continues this legacy, but it takes a more traditional four-door form while retaining the elegance that defines Savio’s work. One of the most striking features of the Fiat 2100 sedan is its distinctive two-tone paint job, inspired by American automotive styling trends of the era. This bold color scheme not only enhances the vehicle’s visual appeal but also reflects the influence of American design on European cars during the post-war period, where bold aesthetics and personalized touches were becoming increasingly popular. The Fiat 2100 sedan is part of the prestigious Lopresto Collection, which is known for housing rare and unique automotive masterpieces. Being included in this collection highlights the significance of this vehicle as not just a car, but a piece of automotive history. The combination of Savio’s craftsmanship, the unique design elements, and its connection to the Fiat legacy makes the Fiat 2100 sedan a fascinating example of mid-20th-century automotive design, capturing the essence of an era when customization and elegance were paramount in the world of luxury vehicles.Photo courtesy of Lopresto Collection.
