Chalk white: 1953 Lancia Aurelia B52 Cabriolet
We’re not Lancia experts to the point of being able to state definitively whether this is a B50, B51, or B52, so we’ve made an assumption based on the year provided by the seller. The seller—well known to many of you—Joop Stolze, is currently liquidating his entire collection (though we’re quite sure he’ll be keeping a few cars for himself, likely the best ones). It’s a very large collection…

Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
Lancia was founded in 1906 by Italian racer and inventor Vincenzo Lancia. From the very beginning, its owner did not follow the beaten track, but became a pioneer in various fields of automotive design. This has helped Lancia models always stay ahead of their time and be in demand among innovation enthusiasts.
Design Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
In 1952-1953 Italian body shops simultaneously decided to join the aviation fashion that became widespread in the United States after the war.The atelier presented Pinin Farina - Lancia Aurelia PF200 coupes and convertibles.
Design Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
The first Aurelia PF200 was unveiled at the 1952 Turin Motor Show, where thousands of visitors, including potential buyers, drew attention to it, although there was no talk of mass production. The show car was based on the Lancia Aurelia B52 chassis with a 2-liter V6 engine producing 75 or 90 hp.
Design Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
In the design of the car, developed by Battista Farina himself and his son Sergio, the oval radiator grill with a forward-protruding chrome frame was first of all striking.
Design Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
It resembled the air intake of the F86 Saber or MiG-15 fighter. Round headlights were located at the ends of the cigar-shaped sidewalls, along with decorative remnants of the front bumper ("bumperettes"). The reactive theme was continued by tail fins with vertical chrome inserts, a tapering tail and triple exhaust pipes protruding from the body, similar to machine guns.
Under the hood Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
There were two different open-top PF200 bodies: one had a soft roof and a curved windshield, hence the name Convertible, and the other (Spyder) had only a flat windshield with an unusual bulge opposite the driver's seat.
Interior Lancia Aurelia PF200 Spyder
Besides them, at least two coupes are known. The first, presented at the 1952 Paris Motor Show, featured a long panoramic rear window divided into three sections by thin bridges, while the second, shown at the same exhibition in 1954, received "sailing" C-pillars and a recessed rear window. In total, from 1952 to 1955. 6 copies of the Lancia Aurelia PF200 were built, of which four have survived to this day.

Starring: ‘51 Lancia Aurelia B50 Cabriolet
By Perico001
When the postwar successor to the Boeing B-29, the B-50 Superfortress, entered service in 1948, it was always planned that the B-50 be converted to tankers once replaced by the B-47 Stratojet which made its first flight in 1947. The Hayes Aircraft Corporation was assigned responsibility for the conversion of the B-50 into KB-50 tankers. The first KB-50s entered service with the Tactical Air Command in January 1956, replacing the KB-29 which was simply too slow to refuel jet aircraft. The KB-29s were phased out completely by November 1957. However, the increasing performance of TAC’s jet fighters meant that in no time, the KB-50s were also too slow to function as tankers. Hayes was once again contracted to upgrade the KB-50 fleet to KB-50J standard with the addition of a single 5200 lb thrust GE J47 turbojet under each wing. The jet engines gave the “new” KB-50J a shorter takeoff distance by 30%, improved the time to operational altitude by 60% and allowed the KB-50J to operate easily at over 400 knots in level flight. 112 KB-50s were upgraded to KB-50Js and a further TB-50 crew trainers were also converted to jet-augmented tankers, designated KB-50Ks. The first KB-50Js were delivered to TAC in January 1958. The KB-50J/K tankers were to be interim tankers until the arrival of the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. Unfortunately their long careers as nuclear bombers and then tankers had taken a toll on their durability and reliability. Aircraft were commonly cannibalized to keep other tankers flying and the first KB-50J/Ks were phased out in 1964. The crash of a KB-50J in 1965 revealed extensive cracking and corrosion in the aircraft structure and the Superfortress tankers were retired quickly in 1965. They did last long enough, however, for some to be used in the Vietnam War.

One only: 1951 Lancia Aurelia B50 "Vittoria" by Bertone
When we see examples like this, we get emotional because they are true time machines, the kind of which there are very few, if any, left. Clearly, examples like this no longer have mirror-like paintwork or gleaming chrome, yet they shine with an intense light: the light of history that they carry with them and have miraculously endured intact, preserving all the characteristics they had when…
One of very few: 1950 Lancia Aurelia B50 Coupé by Vignale
If you want to get an idea of what this car might have looked like in 1950, try searching for other foreign cars produced in the same year, and you will realize how advanced cars like this were in terms of design. Even now, this car shows its age, yet its proportions are still perfect to the discerning eye. Another striking feature of this extremely rare model is the attention to detail, typical…
