Fiat 1500 Cabriolet Viotti
The Fiat 1500B Cabriolet Viotti one-off.
Vehicle Overview
The Fiat 1500B Cabriolet by Viotti is a remarkable example of bespoke Italian coachbuilding, crafted on the Fiat 1500B chassis. This custom-built model showcases the artistry and innovation of Carrozzeria Viotti, a renowned Turin-based coachbuilder known for its elegant and refined designs. The car features the distinctive “spartivento” (windparting) grille, a styling element that Fiat introduced on its regular production models in the same year, blending contemporary design trends with bespoke craftsmanship. The “spartivento” grille is a key visual feature that distinguished the Fiat 1500B range, characterized by its streamlined, vertical slats designed to reduce air resistance and enhance the car’s aerodynamic profile. This grille was not only functional but also contributed to the car’s sophisticated appearance, making it a fitting choice for this custom cabriolet. The Fiat 1500B Cabriolet Viotti, like many custom-built vehicles of its time, was tailored to meet the tastes and preferences of its owner, showcasing a unique blend of luxury, style, and performance. Viotti’s design emphasized smooth lines, balanced proportions, and high-quality materials, creating a cabriolet that was both elegant and practical for open-top motoring. This particular example was found in a fully disassembled state, with its components scattered and in need of careful restoration. It was the Lopresto Collection, renowned for its dedication to preserving and restoring classic Italian automobiles, that undertook the meticulous process of reassembling the car to its present condition. The restoration required extensive research and craftsmanship to ensure that the vehicle was returned to its original glory, respecting the integrity of Viotti’s design while reviving its historical significance. The Fiat 1500B Cabriolet Viotti now stands as a testament to the excellence of Italian coachbuilding and the passion of collectors like the Lopresto family, who are committed to preserving automotive history. This cabriolet is more than just a car; it is a piece of art and heritage, representing a time when bespoke craftsmanship and innovative design came together to create truly unique automobiles.
