This 1960 Autobianchi Bianchina Transformabile. is a very rare Italian micro car that was only produced from 1959 to 1961. Only 10. 00 of these semi-convertible 'transformable' models were made. In 1885. 20-year-old Eduardo Bianchi set up a bicycle-making business in Milan. and before long was making motorized three-wheelers and before 1900. four-wheelers. In the 1920s. Bianchi was third. behind only Fiat and Lancia. in Italian car production. Industrialist Ferrucio Quintavalle reorganized in partnership with Pirelli and Fiat in 1955 as Autobianchi. which in 1957 began making the Bianchina. a two-seat coupe based on the Fiat Nuova 500. Later. a convertible. or transformable. joined the lineup and horsepower increased from the air-cooled. inline 2-cylinder. from 18 to 21 horsepower. This car recently had all new brake lines. wheel cylinder. master. and shoes installed. Drives well. The floor panels have rust in the forward sections which can be seen in the pictures. All of the sheet metal panels are reproduced along with trim and interior pieces. Thanks for the interest and please feel free to contact for further questions or pictures.
