Berlinetta by Bertone
Chassis number: 103TV*071366
Engine number: 103 006 071608

This vehicle was designed by Scaglione and built by Bertone. It is a one-off prototype built atop a Fiat chassis and powered by a Stanguellini 1100cc engine. The goal was to produce a limited run of these Fiat Stanguellinis. This is one of nine built, three known to survive, and the only one in the United States (the other two remain in Italy).

This Bertone bodied Fiat is the 9th car of the '5700' series of cars. The 57 indicated that production was immediately before Arnolt Bristol which was the '5800' series body. Bertone built 10 '5700' series cars - 9 of which were coupes and one convertible. At this time, only three are known to survive. Nuccio Bertone chose Franco Scaglione to design this group of cars. It looks to be a baby B.A.T. since they were both in house at the same time. It has a striking resemblance to a B.A.T. 5. This car was tuned by Stanguellini. It has extensive engine work along with a custom intake manifold and a Weber carburetor. It is also equipped with Stanguellini's aluminum Alfin front brakes.

The Stanguellini Company was famous in the 1950s and 1960s for building fast little sports cars based on Fiat mechanics.

These little Stanguellini coupes were built for the Paris and New York Auto Shows in 1954, and they have many similar features to the three Alfa Romeo B.A.T. series of prototypes. With its inward-curving rear fins and split rear window, it's no coincidence this car has more than a casual resembled to the B.A.T. cars that Franco Scaglione designed for Alfa Romeo.

Power is from an 1100cc/70 horsepower 4-cylinder engine modified by Stanguellini, which features extensive internal modifications along with a custom intake manifold and Weber carburetor. It also features Stanguellini aluminum Alfin front brakes.

The first owner of this car was Briggs Cunningham, who purchased it for his wife Laura after the New York Auto Show. It then passed to Indianapolis 500 driver Luciano Tonino who gave it to his son Alciente as a wedding gift in 1955. He owned the car until 2006. It was restored in California in 2010.
