The Lancia Flaminia is a luxury car produced by Lancia starting in 1957. It was Lancia's flagship model at that time, replacing the Lancia Aurelia. It was available throughout its lifetime as a saloon, coupé, and cabriolet. Although Lancia built the bodies for many of the Pininfarina-designed Flaminias, certain cars were built by the famed coachbuilders Touring, with the notable Sport Series 1 (also known as the Pre-Series), the Sport Series 2, and Super Sport built by Zagato. By the time production ended in 1970, there had been 12,633 Flaminias built.
The Lancia Flaminia was Lancia’s flagship model at that time, replacing the Aurelia. It was available throughout its lifetime as saloon, coupé and cabriolet. The Flaminia coupé and convertible were coachbuilt cars with bodies from several prestigious Italian coachbuilders. Four “presidential” stretched limousine Flaminias were produced by Pininfarina for use on state occasions.
There were 12,633 Flaminias sold over 13 years. Coupés outsold the four-door saloon, an unusual occurrence otherwise seen at the time only in American compact and midsize models whose coupé versions were standard factory models that cost the same or less than the sedan, while the Flaminia coupés’ coachbuilt bodies made them considerably more expensive than the limousine-like Berlina.
