Cesare Isotta and Vincenzo Fraschini joined forces in Italy in 1899. They were importers and did not offer an Isotta Fraschini until 1901.
Carlo Castgna apprenticed at a carrozzeria at the young age of nine and soon took over the company that would become the famed Carrozzeria Castagna of Milan. By 1915 Carlo's son, Ercole, was at the helm, and he was even more focused on building the best chassis of the day. He established Castagna as one of Italy's finest carrozzerie, creating coachwork for movie stars, royalty and even the pope. After World War II, faced with a declining demand for special bodies, Castagna struggled, and in 1954 it closed.
This car was typically a chauffeur-driven formal car. The original price in 1928 was $20,000. This car has won 2nd place ribbons at Pebble Beach, CCCA Senior car; best of class at Glenmoor, Meadbrook, Cranbrook, best interior, best paint; and numerous other awards.
This Tipo 8A S Landaulet, built when both Isotta Fraschini and Castagna were at their peak, was first delivered to Howe Willis, who owned an incredible total of seven Isottas and later became the historian of the Isotta Fraschini Owner's Association. In 1967 he sold this car to Laverne and Marlene Johnson of Michigan, who kept it for 48 years and showed it at many concours. The current owners purchased the car in 2015.
