Bravi (I promessi sposi) e Bravi Periti

Lo sportello non si chiude

Aprendo lo #sportello della #Dacia #Duster si sposta la #guarnizione e fuoriesce dalla sua sede, impedendo poi la chiusura dello sportello. Si tratta di un problema comune, ma fastidioso che si presenta continuamente. Come risolvere questo #difetto?

Sono alle prese con un piccolo problema con la mia Dacia Duster, esattamente con lo sportello posteriore destro. Casualmente è lo stesso problema che ho avuto con la mia precedente automobile Renault Clio, ma mentre sulla Clio il problema era saltuario, adesso sulla Duster si presenta ogni volta che apro e richiudo lo sportello. In pratica aprendo lo sportello la guarnizione esce dalla sua sede…

Fiat 125 S Samantha Vignale Coupé 

One of the most illustrious of Italian coachbuilders, Carrozzeria Vignale had been founded in 1948 by Alfredo Vignale, whose career had begun pre-war with a successful design on the FIAT Topolino chassis. Enzo Ferrari’s favoured coachbuilder during the Maranello manufacturer’s formative years, Carrozzeria Vignale also designed and built cars for Lancia and Maserati among others, and in the 1960s branched out into automobile manufacture in its own right. For FIAT, Vignale built show models, prototypes and some limited edition models. Based on the contemporary FIAT 124 and 125 models, the 1.6-litre Vignale-bodied Samantha was built in small numbers in the late 1960s. Vignale’s sleek coupé body had very fluid lines thanks to the recessed ‘pop up’ headlights, yet nevertheless afforded comfortable seating for four and a decent amount of luggage space. With 100bhp on tap, delivered via a five-speed gearbox, the Samantha was similar in performance to the 125S donor car with a 0-60mph time of 13 seconds and a top speed of 106mph. The downside was that it cost twice as much. Only a relative handful are believed to survive, making the Samantha 125S one of the rarest twin-cam FIATs of the period. In fact, by 1971, only about 100 copies were produced, were nicknamed "Little Maserati."

The 1956 Chrysler Norseman was a concept car designed by Chrysler stylists and built overseas in Italy by Carrozzeria Ghia, a coachbuilding (carbody building) firm who famously did the styling for the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia models. Intended for the 1957 circuit, the car was completed in 1956 and sent from Italy to America on the Italian ocean liner Andrea Doria in July.

The car was a four-seat fastback coupe with hidden headlights and a cantilevered roof supported only at its rear-end, allowing for an all-glass front windshield with no metal supports. The car was state-of-the-art, and it’s unknown how many of its daring concepts would have made it into production models, as the car never entered production. On the evening of July 25, amid heavy fog, the Andrea Doria collided with the Swedish ocean liner Stockholm fifty miles south of Nantucket Island, and sank late the next morning. Forty-six people were killed in the initial collision when the Stockholm’s bow pierced the Andrea Doria’s side, but as the ship stayed afloat for eleven hours after the collision and many ships arrived to take on survivors, the remaining 1,660 passengers and crew were evacuated safely, in what became known as one of the greatest rescue operations of the 20th century. With photographers and television crews in airplanes on hand to watch the final moments, the Andrea Doria slipped beneath the waves at 11:00 AM. The Chrysler Norseman, located deep in the Andrea Doria’s garage, was lost as well, and never recovered.

Although it’s tempting to mourn the loss of such a gorgeous and daring car, I think that the daring concept elements which give the car some of its charm would have been toned down in production. A similar car from 1956, the Mercury XM-Turnpike Cruiser, was a radical car in its concept, with radical styling and glass roof panels above the doors that opened vertically like gullwing doors to allow for easier entrance and exit from the car’s low roof. These elements were toned down in production, with the glass panels replaced by a plain hardbody roof and the styling simplified on the carbody. Doubtless the same would have happened the the Chrysler Norseman had it entered production.
