01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet (1937) was coachbuilt by Stabilimenti Farina. Developed during a period marked by innovation in automotive design, the Aprilia Cabriolet exemplified the collaboration between Lancia and the renowned coachbuilder. The design process involved careful attention to proportions and construction methods, reflecting the stylistic context of the late 1930s. The bodywork was characterized by smooth lines and a streamlined silhouette, which were indicative of the era’s aesthetic preferences. Mechanically, the Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet was equipped with a robust chassis, featuring a noteworthy suspension system that contributed to its handling and ride quality. The car was powered by an inline-four engine, which provided adequate performance for its class. Documentation indicates that the model was produced in limited numbers, reflecting the exclusivity associated with coachbuilt vehicles of the time. Surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives, providing reference for researchers of postwar coachbuilding. The Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Farina remains a significant example of the interplay between automotive engineering and artistic design, representing a unique chapter in the history of car manufacturing.
