Lancia Appia was introduced in 1953 as a replacement for the Ardea and in production for 10 years, the Lancia Appia was the last in a long line of Lancia production cars dating back to the Lancia Lambda (introduced in 1922) to use the famous sliding pillar front suspension. All three series produced had a V4 engine of 1098cc, which gave the car good performance.
In addition to the saloons, an number of special bodied Appias were produced, including a Coupe, by Pininfarina, a convertible by Vignale and an aluminium bodied GT by Zagato.
The Appia was renowned for its high quality and simple engineering refinement, which helped the Appia gain a deserved reputation for reliability and longevity. Often overlooked by classic car enthusiasts (and the press) in favour of its more prestigious stable mates the Aurelia and Flaminia, those who own and run these cars know that they are equally deserving of recognition and preservation. Car was made in 3 series and total pruduction was 107.024 pieces.
