Fiat 130 - Berlina e Coupè
Having attained unwanted notoriety as a protagonist in one of the most dramatic episodes in Italian history - the kidnapping of Aldo Moro - the Fiat 130 was the last flagship model built by the Turin manufacturer and also the last Fiat with a six-cylinder engine.
The model arrived on the market with great ambitions and excellent credentials but at the wrong moment, on the eve of the 1973 oil crisis. It was not only the salon of choice for the powers that be in the Italian Republic, but also one of the Pininfarina's most beautiful coupé designs. It also provided the basis for a number of extraordinarily attractive one-offs.
Photos, many of which previously unpublished, and detailed technical files accompany the story of the genesis and evolution of the model. There is also a section devoted to restoration for those interested in acquiring an example of what is a true collector's model.

Filled with numerous illustrations and detailed technical specifications for each version, it offers a comprehensive exploration of the car's legacy and impact in the automotive industry.

Fiat 132 e Argenta (1972-1986)
The Fiat 132 played a challenging role as a high-end sedan during a period marked by significant societal changes and tensions. Equipped with refined mechanics, it needed to rapidly adapt its features and styling to remain relevant.
Alongside the Argenta, which faced similar challenges during the early 1980s transition, these cars represented Fiat's best offerings during a prolonged and tumultuous period.
This book comprehensively covers the history of the Fiat 132 and Argenta, from its inception to subsequent developments, featuring numerous illustrations and detailed technical specifications for each version.
