Fiat \u201c500 Spider Sport\u201d, Colli, 1949<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Probably a one-off, the car shown in the museum was built by the Carrozzeria Colli of Milan<\/strong> on a chassis powered by a Fiat-derived engine. The years following the end of World War II<\/strong> witnessed the growth of both drivers\u00a0and technicians.Among the small coachbuilders of the period, an important place was occupied by Carrozzeria Colli of Milan, founded in 1932<\/strong> and specialized in aluminium handcraft work.
\nDuring the war Carrozzeria Colli cooperated with the Air Force<\/strong> and soon after the war the experience gained from this collaboration led the company to manufacture a special vehicle, half-car and half-plane, with wings that bent upwards when driving on the road. In 1948<\/strong> the Aer 1, a three-seat prototype, was able to make some trial flies. Although interesting and appreciated, the the vehicle was never produced.
\nCarrozzeria Colli kept manufacturing special car bodies until 1973<\/strong> and\u00a0in the 1950s cooperated with Alfa Romeo<\/strong>, for which they dressed\u00a0both racing (as the 6C 3000CM and Disco Volante) and\u00a0road cars (as the station wagon\u00a0versions of\u00a0the Giulietta and Giulia).<\/p>\n
