Italy during the 1950s and ‘60s was a hotbed of custom car building. Called carrozzerias, the work that emerged from these body shops was highly creative, immensely distinctive and uniquely Italian. Their creations ran the gamut from rebodied production sedans into one-off sports cars, full-race competition cars as well as custom bodies for all sorts of Italian and European automobiles including Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Triumph.
