The Flaminia was Lancia's flagship from 1957 to 1970. It was built in several variants, including as a 4-door sedan, presidential limousine, 2-door sedan - otherwise called GT, and - from 1961 - GT Coupe and GTL Coupé.
Flaminia Berlina
The Lancia Flaminia was Lancia's top model from the start of production in 1957 to 1970. The car in the pictures has a 2.5 liter V6 engine with 102 hp and a transaxle solution. It could also be had with a 2.8 liter engine. The pictures were taken on the occasion of an exhibition of car clubs for Italian cars, here the Norwegian Lancia Club.
Flaminia Coupé
The Lancia Flaminia sedan and Coupé shared the same front, but the coupé version had a shorter wheelbase. It was equipped with the Flaminia model's largest engine – a 2,8 V6 longitudinally mounted with rear-wheel drive via a 4-speed transaxle solution.
Flaminia GT Coupé
The GT and GTL were not built by Lancia itself, but by the body shop Touring Superleggera body. Both bodies are made of aluminium. The bright blue car pictured at the harbor is a GT Coupé. It has a shorter wheelbase than the sedan and only 2 seats. Behind the seats there is a leather-covered rear seat back and a small compartment for bags and the like. This is a car that in its day was well suited for driving Route Nationale 7 between Paris and the Côte d'Azur. The GTL Coupé is a 2+2 seater with a slightly longer wheelbase than the GT Coupé. The two models look quite similar from a distance. The 2-seater version undoubtedly looks the most luxurious. All models have the 2,8 V6.
