    Do any remnants of this company still exist? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to find information on a Fabbri bodied "etceterini", built circa 1952...

    No, it's a car that has a Gilco (Tipo 203?) chassis (forwarding the chassis photos to Gilco for confirmation....looks like a Tipo 203 chassis to me...owner of the car measuring the w/b and track...), a Luigi Fabbri coachbuilder plate, and has no motor now. I believe the motor was first a modified Topolino, then a modified Lancia. I think the car was built in 1951 or 1952. The car has been in the US since the mid-1950s. I believe the car was built for Renato Valezni. It's NOT in La Sport or on any website!! It's my 40 years of involvement with "etceterinis" that have gotten me this far. That's all I can say at the moment...

    Mr Faucompré: all I did was give Dr Schaller the contact info of someone (a rather private someone) who might know.

    I never got a response. I can't find anything anywhere about this coachbuilder from the 1940s and 1950s. One of the cars I am researching (a car with a Gilco chassis and a Lancia motor) has a Luigi Fabbri Bologna body tag. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
