Carrozzeria Monviso was an automotive coachbuilder active in Turin from 1944 to 1955 established by Alessandro Casalis. The company started the business by building utility veichles, like ambulances and hearses made from war remnants, but also bodies for Fiat chassis. The company’s philosophy was to make those bodies like series products: assembly precision and quality of finishes had to be comparable to the other car manufactures. Modern machinery were adopted, a sort of assembly line adapted to the reduced production capacity of the company, which allowed production times to be significantly shortened. For cost reasons, production was limited to a smaller number of body variants and models available, which however stood out for their construction quality. The flagship model was called “Stella Alpina”, and was product on mechanics and chassis from Fiat 1100, and built with coupé, spider e cabriolet body. In the 50s Monviso built fuoriserie on Fiat 600 and Lancia Aurelia, often commissioned by Ghia, which acquired the company in 1955. This car is a two-seaters cabriolet, built in 1947 on Fiat 1100B chassis. From the standard model the rear doors have been removed and the opening of the front doors has been reversed. The car is un good condition and works perfectly. Small conservative restoration interventions were carried out. The interior, in green leather, is in excellent condition, as is the soft top, in light brown.Eligible for the Mille Miglia (the model took part in various editions of the race) and for the most important concours d’elegance.
