OM \u201c469 S\u201d, Schieppati, 1929<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Societ\u00e0 Anonima Officine Meccaniche<\/strong> (OM since 1928) company was founded in 1899 with the merger between two locomotive and railway carriage<\/strong> manufacturers.
\nIn 1917<\/strong> the company took over a car factory in Brescia, Zust,<\/strong> and in 1918<\/strong> they introduced the first OM car, the S 305<\/strong> model.
\nIn the early 1930s with the beginning of lorry<\/strong> production, OM became part of the Fiat Group,<\/strong> and it completely lost its own identity in the late 1960s when Fiat Veicoli Industriali<\/strong>, later called Iveco,<\/strong> was established.
\nThe 469<\/strong> model was introduced in 1922<\/strong> in the N<\/strong> and S<\/strong> versions, the latter fitted with front brakes too. The S4 version was produced until 1934, and certainly owes its success to the race victories,<\/strong> among which the 1922 Coppa delle Alpi<\/strong> in the 1500 class.
\nThe sedan version of the museum was built by Carrozzeria Schieppati<\/strong> of Milan; the car is mainly in its original condition as is proved by the footboards<\/strong> and rear seats.<\/strong> Also the log book<\/strong>, which registers just one change of ownership, and the MN 3874<\/strong> registration plate are original.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
