Thank you Brian Title: Re: So that's where they are! Post by: frankxhv773t on 22 November, 2016, 09:37:19 AM It's very encouraging to see but it still concerns me that the dialogue owes more to advertising hype than historical accuracy. For instance the Delta 4x4 was not an industry leading innovation when launched at the 1986 Turin show because the Audi Quattro was first seen at the 1980 Geneva show.
Title: Re: So that's where they are! Post by: stanley sweet on 22 November, 2016, 09:58:17 AM This is good news. I wonder if space will be found to display them as they should be? Also, every manufacturer these days are harping back to their 'heritage' so I wonder if they are building up the heritage story for a future resurgence of Lancia? There's enough there to work with - more than any other manufacturer I should think.
Title: Re: So that's where they are! Post by: lancialulu on 22 November, 2016, 10:11:41 AM Stan dont build your hopes up. FCA are investing in their heritage for overall business reasons and Heritage will cover all FCA brand lines.
We are promised an online FCA Heritage site soon where it has been said you can find the production history of your car. I will believe it when I see it. More importantantly Lancia Motor Club is being listed as a major club for the marque. Very nice vid Brian and great they choose a Flavia Vignale as part of the little group of runners.

Lovely video and more online resources can only be good. Title: Re: So that's where they are! Post by: GialloHPEIan on 23 November, 2016, 12:47:53 AM I'm sure many of us would be willing to make the pilgrimage to see that room full of Italian automotive excellence. Wow! The video at least shows they haven't completely forgotten about the Kudos of Lancia. Maybe the management at FCA have finally realized that they are missing a trick by virtually mothballing the Lancia brand. Something along the lines of the pretty Fulvietta that sadly never made it into production, together with the Ypsilon and something along the lines of an up to date version of a Thema / Kappa / Thesis would make for a desirable line up.. Something sporty with an HF moniker wouldn't go amiss either! Surely. a line up like that would generate some respectable sales numbers for FCA. Here's hoping!

I enjoyed the Targa "racing down memory lane" film and the S61 restoration. Title: Re: So that's where they are! Post by: Sliding Pillar on 26 November, 2016, 12:27:27 PM There is a large stand with part of the Lancia collection on it at the Milano Autoclassica this weekend.

And my favourite flaminia, although I know not everyone loved the design, photos didn't do much for me either as I've said before, but sublime in the metal.

Do you have a rear view as I seem to remember when we saw it it 2003/4 the back window is Shield shaped. I also think having the grille surround as the bumper that 'gives' was a very clever idea. Brian 8227 8) |
