Honestly, I would not have guess that it is an Alfa Romeo from the side profile and rear view alone. I agreed with @Brass that it look very British, and my first thought was that it is Aston Martin's stable... This unique Coupe was the best Alfa Romeo could offer in the immediate post-war period. It used a pre-war drive train, but had a thoroughly modern chassis and body unique to this car. The body, called Supergioiello or jewel, was designed by Ghia while the chassis was a unique design by Gilberto Columbo from Gilco. This well-known Alfa carries exclusivity and exquisite condition to its credit, being a finely restored example of only four ‘Supergioiello’ or ‘jewel’ coupes, built by Ghia in 1950. Better still, of the 4 built, 3 were constructed on the standard Alfa Romeo chassis, while this was the only constructed on a more advanced and distinctly post-war tubular chassis manufactured by Gilco Milano. Those that are not familiar with this company will no doubt know the name of its proprietor, the company name being an abbreviation of his names – Gilberto Columbo. Columbo would of course go on to be one of the leading figures in designing and building Ferrari and Maserati chassis through the Fifties. The original 1950 order for the car came from SIRCA, Milan’s largest car distributor in those days, who requested that Gilco build chassis 64251 with this special frame to accommodate the 6C running gear with all correct Alfa Romeo 6C 2500SS mechanical components. By the late 1950s the car had found its way into England where it was discovered decades later in the early 1990s in unrestored condition. From 1995 to 1998 an exhaustive restoration ensued, some 5,800 hours of work being required to return the car to its former glory and to the magnificent order in which it remains today. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator April 25, 2020 Author Share April 25, 2020 Yes, it is the 1976 BMW Karmann Asso Di Quadri Concept, which was based on the then-new BMW E21 chassis used for the 320i. Giugiaro designed the Audi Asso di Picche as the first of his ‘Ace’ series of concept coupes. These designs were sponsored studies, and this one in particular displayed a potential coupe product that, perhaps intended by Karmann, would result in Audi contracting the Osnabruck-based coachbuilder to assemble. The Asso di Picche made its auto show debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1973, with the mark of the spade on its flanks. Much of its design was inspired by an earlier Giugiaro design known as the Boomerang. Giugiaro continued his series with additional ‘Ace’ models. In 1976, the design house showed its Asso di Quadri (Ace of Diamonds) at the Turin International Auto Show. This second ‘Ace’ concept was based on the then-new BMW E21 chassis used for the 320i. The third ‘Ace’ was the Piazza ‘Ace of Club’ that would eventually be built as the Isuzu Impulse. It is said all three ‘Ace’ cars were used in evaluation of a second-generation Volkswagen Scirocco design, though obviously now, none of the three were used.” 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
