Lancia Astura is ‘Best of Show’ at the Pebble Beach Concours 2016

The winning car, a 1936 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet, was one of just six examples commissioned by a Lancia dealer in Biella, Italy. Distinguished from its brethren by curved side windows and shoulder-line brightwork, it was found dilapidated in England in the early 1960s, at which point it was restored ‘back home’ by Pininfarina and later sold to Eric Clapton. The car-collecting guitarist apparently proclaimed it “the most fun I’ve had offstage and out of bed.”
