2011 Desert Classic, Fiat Stanguerllini

The following photos were taken by Rex Gray at the 2011 Desert Classic in La Quinta
Please check his Flicker site for more complete coverage of this event and some really wonderful photos.







Leading up the Fiat 1100/103 TV of 1954, both Bertone and Stanguellini presented their idea of a modern Fiat. As early as 1950 they presented an 1100 and in 1953 the car was redesigned by Franco Scaglione into this attractive Berlinetta.

Both Bertone and Stanguellini were striving to make the most from Fiat components. Their 1950 Berlinetta was drastically different in appearance from our feature car, but similar in conception. Several of these early versions were outfitted for racing in events such as the Rolli-Cannara in Toscana and we wouldn't be surprised if a few showed up at the Mille Miglia.
