【#05045 Monteverdi Special (CH, 1950)
Speaking of Monteverdi, car lovers will immediately think of expensive and sporty passenger cars.
It was Peter Monteverdi, a Swiss.
But before he started making luxury cars in 1967, he already had a lot of experience in automobile manufacturing.
When he was 17, he took out a 1100 cc engine from a 1949 Fiat 508C crash car for reuse.
And put the 40-horsepower 4-cylinder engine on a frame he designed.
Not only the engine but also the 4-speed gearbox, drum brakes, and rear axle from the Fiat crash car. He initially worked in broken Italian.
The design was based on the layout of a racing car that was common at the time, featuring a very rounded, elongated cigar-shaped body.
The total weight was only 750 kg and his "Special" reached 145 km / h.
