Do you remember when Opel used to build great, large cars in the American style?
1966 Opel Diplomat A Coupé, a pillarless hardtop with no B-pillar, powered by a 5.3-litre V8 producing 230 HP and capable of more than 200 km/h.
A very rare car, with fewer than 400 examples produced. Splendid. Spotted at Techno Classica in Dortmund.
And again, a Citroën ID 19... boring, isn't it? Not at all. First, this is a great Citroën, and second this one was built by Chapron. What? An ID Chapron... yes, Sir.
The Citroën ID 19 Chapron, known as Administration or de maître, depending on the source, was ordered by the French administration and built between 1959 and 1961. This particular car is a 1960 model, a true rarity, spotted at the Techno Classica in Dortmund. Apparently, less than 50 were ever built.
The vehicle was modified by the legendary French coachbuilder Henri Chapron. The car's design is both whimsical and fascinating. Up front, the chauffeur sits in extremely cramped quarters on a rigid faux-leather bench, with only basic mechanical equipment. In the rear, however, the car transforms into an opulent, colorful salon, separated from the chauffeur by a partition that can be operated by a crank.
The C-pillar is painted black, and the roof may be made of aluminum, a detail that still needs to be verified. This is the first one I've ever seen in real life.
The Maserati 6C 34, chassis 3026, was a unique, factory-prepared two-seater (biposto) variant built for the 1935 Mille Miglia. Unlike the standard single-seater (monoposto) Grand Prix configuration, chassis 3026 was modified with a wider cockpit to accommodate two people, as well as fenders (wings) and headlights to comply with road-racing regulations.
During the 1980s, Swiss car collector Albert Obrist commissioned a faithful reconstruction of this unique biposto using original Maserati parts. This special was displayed at Techno-Classica in Dortmund, and you need a keen eye to realize that it is not the original car. I could have looked at it for hours. Thanks to the owner.
