Lancia Flaminia

Introduced in 1957, the Lancia Flaminia served as the brand's flagship, replacing the iconic Aurelia. It carried over its predecessor's advanced engineering, including a transaxle and a development of the world's first production V6 engine. The Flaminia was offered as a factory Berlina sedan, but its most desirable forms were the coachbuilt versions crafted by Italy's finest carrozzerie: Pininfarina, Touring, and Zagato.

Collectors prize the Flaminia for its sophisticated mechanicals and elegant styling. The market is highly stratified by body style. While the Pininfarina-built Coupé offers an accessible entry point, the rare, lightweight aluminum-bodied cars from Touring (GT and GTL) and Zagato (Sport and Super Sport) command the highest values. The Zagato Super Sport, with its distinctive 'double bubble' roof and 152 hp V6, is the ultimate model for collectors.

The Flaminia market's wide price spread reflects the vast difference between a standard Berlina and a rare coachbuilt model. The average sale price of $86,176 is pulled up by strong results for Touring and Zagato cars, which trade for multiples of the more common Pininfarina Coupés. Well-restored, documented coachbuilt examples continue to be the most sought-after.

Prices range from $7,500 for project cars to $300,000 for top-spec coachbuilt variants.
