One of the world&#8217;s most innovative automakers, IF introduced four wheel brakes in 1909, and the Tipo 8 series, unveiled in August 1912, featured an in-line eight cylinder engine, the first of its type put into series production anywhere in the world. The Tipo 8A series, introduced in 1924, offered 115hp, a redesigned frame and suspension and Isotta&#8217;s highly regarded three-speed synchromesh transmission. In America, where nearly a third of Isottas were sold, the price of an 8A exceeded even that of a Model J Duesenberg; a chassis alone was priced at $9,750, and coachbuilt models were demanding upwards of $20,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A had the most powerful production straight eight engine when it was introduced in the mid-1920s. Most models were mounted on a very long 145 wheelbase chassis. There was an original guarantee that these cars would do 90mph, with the capability of running at both 90mph and 6mph in the same gear. About 950 Tipo 8As were built during the 1925-1931 model run. By 1931 the company was struggling as the Great Depression in the USA had severely affected sales of expensive vehicles. Thus, in order to boost sales, the company introduced a new model, the Tipo 8B.<\/p>\n<p>The company was nearly saved by Henry Ford who was anxious to produce Isottas in Detroit and have his cars built in Italy, but the Italian government blocked this deal. Instead in 1932 the aircraft maker Count Caproni di Talideo, who considered the aero engines as indispensable for his own business, acquired the company. Car production virtually ceased that year and apart from a brief attempt at a rear engined V8 vehicle in the post-war period, Isotta Fraschini disappeared as a car manufacturer.<\/p>\n<h2>Isotta

Believed to be ex-Milan Salon car. This striking example comes to the market following a comprehensive restoration in its current ownership, which has included careful research into the car&#8217;s history. In the course of researches by the restorer and owner they were able to delve into the archives of the former historian of the (now defunct) U.S. based Isotta Fraschini Owner&#8217;s Association, a Mr. Howe B. Willis.<\/p>\n<p>As can sometimes happen, over the course of time some of the more important aspects of its specification and history had been overlooked. It is understood that it was Mr. Willis&#8217; opinion that this was a car that Isotta had displayed at the Milan Salone dell&#8217;Auto in 1930 as it precisely matched a period photograph of a car photographed in Milan within his archives. That same photo was annotated with this chassis number.<\/p>\n<p>In comparing the car as it was when acquired with this period image, it was clear that having been the subject of some glossy but not necessarily authentic refurbishment over 80 year lifetime, its looks had become a little disguised by the time it arrived with its current owner.\u00a0<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3208\/1.html\">2015 Les Grandes Marques du Monde au Grand Palais<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17491\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17491 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536.jpg\" alt=\"Isotta Fraschini 8A\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1062563-1536-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=3107&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1062563\"><br \/>\n1929 Isotta Fraschini 8A Derham Convertible Sedan 1571<\/a> &#8211; sold for $473,000<\/b> Displayed at the 1928 New York Auto Salon.

This beautiful Isotta Fraschini is a Tipo 8A with wonderful coachwork by Castagna of Milan, Italy. This model was first shown at the prestigious Hotel Commodore in New York in 1930, and was so popular that ten others, nicknamed &#8220;Commodore,&#8221; were built. The Tipo 8A chassis possessed power, speed and refined engineering. It was coupled with the astonishing coachwork by Castagna allowing it to be sought after by those with discreet taste and wealth. Only a few are known to exist today. Complete American ownership since sold new in 1930. Documented.
