The Appia arrived in 1953 and was the last new Lancia to use the automaker's innovative sliding pillar front suspension design. This robust but effective setup gave the Appia sportier handling than their handsome but sedate four-door styling might have suggested. It wasn't until the Vignale-designed and -built cabriolet range was introduced in 1957 that the little car truly lived up to the Lancia badge. The Giovanni Michelotti-designed Cabriolet was based on the second series Appia platform, and it was the first to be offered as a two-seater, before it was reconfigured into a neat 2+2. A small number of coupes were also built.

This particular Appia Cabriolet has been finished in gleaming white paint over tan leather, and it is one of less than 1,600 such cabriolets to have been built. It was under the care of one family from 1960 through to 2012, and then it was acquired by its second owner, who subjected it to a thorough restoration that was designed with regular driving use in mind.

Gleaming chrome trim and attractive wire knock-off wheels set the car apart from other examples of this rare breed of Italian cabriolet. This Appia shows virtually no wear, and it is a splendid and eminently drivable example of one of the most attractive convertibles to ever bear the Lancia name.

Présentée en 1953, l'Appia était la dernière Lancia à adopter la suspension avant coulissante typique du constructeur. Cette configuration innovante, robuste et efficace apportait à l'Appia un comportement plus sportif que ne le suggérait le style élégant mais sans grand relief de la berline. Ce n'est qu'avec l'apparition en 1957 du cabriolet créé et fabriqué par Vignale que le modèle a vraiment été à la hauteur du badge Lancia. Basé sur la plateforme Appia deuxième série, ce cabriolet dessiné par Giovanni Michelotti était le premier à être proposé sous la forme d'une stricte deux places, avant d'être modifié en 2+2. Une version coupé a également été produite en petite quantité.

Le présent cabriolet Appia est habillé d'une splendide peinture blanche avec sellerie en cuir brun, et fait partie des quelque 1 600 exemplaires produits de ce modèle. Il est resté entre les mains de la même famille de 1960 à 2012, avant d'être acheté par son deuxième propriétaire qui lui a offert une restauration complète, dans le but de l'utiliser régulièrement.

De superbes enjoliveurs chromés et de belles jantes à rayons à serrage central différencient cette voiture des autres exemplaires de ce rare cabriolet italien. Ne montrant pratiquement pas d'usure, cette Appia est un exemple splendide et facilement utilisable d'un des cabriolets les plus désirables parmi ceux qui portent la marque Lancia.
