An early postwar four-door sedan with the engine at the rear and a third headlight mounted centrally. Sound familiar?

About a year before the Tucker 48 made its debut, the last gasp of an old and revered Italian marque appeared. Isotta Fraschini, dating back to 1902 and called the "Italian Rolls Royce", had discontinued car production during the Great Depression, turning to trucks and engines for marine and aircraft use. But there were high hopes to revive the name, resulting in the Tipo 8C Monterosa, a Zagato-bodied four-door. However, when it first appeared at the Paris motor show in 1947 it had a two-door body by Touring. A few others appeared before Isotta folded in 1949. Because of possible body swaps on the same chassis, the best guess is anywhere from 3 to 6 Monterosas were actually built.

AutoCult just introduced a model of the first Zagato-bodied 8C Monterosa. I only found black and white photos of the original, so I'm not sure about the colors, but it sure looks good.
