In July 1956, Lancia began offering a revised version of the B24S built on the fifth-series Aurelia GT platform. This model features modified camshafts, non-detachable cylinder liners, a new clutch, and direct drive top gear.
The new model also features revised bodywork and a true convertible top with roll-up windows for proper weather sealing, as well as redesigned seats for improved overall driver comfort.
Officially dubbed the Aurelia GT 2500 America Convertible, only 150 examples of the new B24S were produced before a final revision was introduced in 1957 on the sixth-series Aurelia GT chassis. Following this final iteration, the model line was discontinued entirely, at which point a mere 521 examples of the B24S convertible had been produced.
It is powered by a 118 horsepower, 2,451cc overhead cam V-6 engine, with dual twin-choke Weber 50 DCL5 carburetors, Driven through a four-speed manual rear-mounted transaxle. The suspension is a front an independent sliding-pillar setup with a rear de Dion axle with leaf springs and shock absorbers, along with four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
This example is one of fewer than 20 known to survive.
