1969 Autobianchi A112 Giovani-a (More pictures in post)

A bit earlier than the typical time frame of the general things we post, but I feel like this still captures the feel.

It's 1955, Italy is trying to find its feet after the war, and Bianchi, the bicycle brand, decides it wants to make cars again. But they don't just go at it alone— they team up with the likes of Fiat and Pirelli. The result? Autobianchi. The company that tried to blend engineering genius, design flair, and a bit of cheeky Italian spirit into a single, tiny vehicle.

Fast forward to 1969, and out pops the Autobianchi A112 Giovani-a car
