Fiat 6C 1500 B cabriolet 2+2 Ghia 1947 Restoration

This amazing and unique Fiat 6C 1500 B convertible 2+2 Ghia from 1947 is being completely restored to its original glory by S2 Classic Cars. The sheet metal has been well preserved over the years but needs to be repaired in several places. The woodwork in the windshield pillar and the A-pillars has been newly customized by a partner woodworker. This unique Fiat 6C 1500 B with chassis number 1500B-039919 and engine number 1500B-041127 was transferred by body builder Ghia to the Fiat car dealer Renato Bornigia in Rome on February 11, 1947. The color of the car was hazelnut brown metallic combined with green leather upholstery and a beige hood. The car was delivered with an Autovox 2 shortwave radio and Veglia dashboard gauges, and a steering wheel from Giordano from Turin. The car was shown by Ghia at the 4th concours d'élégance of Sanremo on May 11 and 12, 1947, alongside a convertible in light green metallic with beige upholstery. A few weeks later, Bornigia sold the convertible to Mrs. Mimosa Pignatari from Rome, born Mimosa Parodi Delfino. She was a member of the Roman aristocracy, daughter of Prince Leopoldo Parodi Delfino, senator of the Italian kingdom. Mimosa Pignatari entered the car for the I Pincio Park concours d'élégance, which was held on June 21, 1947. This Fiat 6C 1500 B convertible with Ghia bodywork won the class (vetture fuoriserie trasformabili fino a 1500cc) and the 3rd prize in the general classification behind a Fiat 6C1500 coupé special with Pininfarina bodywork and an Alfa Romeo 6C2500 convertible with Bertone bodywork.
