CC reader Paul Noir has just returned from a vacation in Spain, and sends a collection of delightful finds like this Lancia Fulvia coupe (my favorite of the bunch) sitting in the bright sunshine . For now, I’m going to give you the link to his Flickr page where his fourteen finds reside, until we figure out a consistent way to handle submissions (see related post). Thank you Paul!
Paul,
I am so flattered you found these shots link-worthy! In anticipation of more site traffic than any of my hiking pics have seen yet, I just translated the picture and album captions of the “Curbside Classic Spain”-Album into English.
Thanks for sending them. The Fulvia coupe is a gem.
The headlight treatment on this one is different than any I’ve seen before. It would appear that they are mounted slightly higher than usual, with corresponding changes to the chrome trim, and small bulges molded into the usually flat front of the fender. Local regulations maybe?
I’m not completely familiar with the Fulvia, but I suspect this is a late version with an updated front. Light specs have been consistent in Europe since way back,
Looks like you may be right. I found a 71 and a 73, each with the same raised lights. And there’s this, on a wikipedia photo:
Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.3 MkII, raised headlights (version for England), 1971
mmmmm, i’m partial to the Guiletta. LOOOOOOVE that car. When getting my buckets re-upholstered a few years ago– he had a British racing green Guilietta (with sweet matching 4 leaf clove badge) in the shop….wow, I’ve been in love ever since. It’s hit me like nothing ever has—– I desperately want one!
