The Lancia Aurelia B20 GT is vastly appreciated in Europe but little-known here in the United States, except by those fortunate enough to own one. Those owners know their superb engineering and excellent performance, with fine road holding from a de Dion rear axle, and a V-6 engine enabling a top speed of 112 mph. Examples of the model ran with considerable success at all of the most famous venues of the era, including Le Mans, the Targa Florio, the Mille Miglia, and Monte Carlo Rallye. The styling was also subtly graceful, as well, courtesy of Pinin Farina.

In 1950, Lancia introduced the landmark Aurelia B10, with the first production V-6 engine, Lancia’s traditional sliding-pillar front suspension, a revolutionary multi-link rear suspension, and riding on Michelin X radial tires – another first. The following year, the Aurelia B21 was offered, with the engine size increased from 1.75 litres to 2.0 litres. In 1952, in keeping with Lancia’s practice of creating platforms on which coachbuilders could build custom bodies, the factory offered the B52 autotelaio, with a slight increase over the B21’s 2,860-millimetre wheelbase, and a 2.0-litre V-6. Only 98 B52s were built between 1952 and 1953.
