1965-1976 Lancia Fulvia Coupe - Classic Cars - Automobile Magazine

America's Marshall Plan footed the bill for rebuilding Fiat after World War II and helped tiny Alfa Romeo become a mass-market manufacturer. But Lancia, Italy's second-largest carmaker before the hostilities, had to fend mostly for itself. In those early days of the Cold War, the antifascist proclivities of Turin's Lancia were perceived as signs of incipient communism.
