The Flaminia was the last model developed by Lancia before the carmaker went bankrupt and ended up being bought by Fiat in 1969.
Lancia introduced the first Flaminia in 1957, and Pininfarina designed the sedan version. It was based on the same chassis as the Aurelia but with a longer wheelbase. In 1963, the Italian carmaker introduced a slight facelift to the car, where the most important upgrade was under the hood.
Pininfarina built the Flaminia based on the same concept vehicle that resulted in the Peugeot 505, and that's why the two vehicles looked related. At the front, the four headlights system with an additional lamp installed between the main headlamp and the bumper was unique on the luxury sedan market. For the 1963 model, the Flaminia featured a grille placed behind the hood and front fenders line. An air-intake found its place on the hood and took more air to feed the three carburetors that fueled the engine.
Inside, the carmaker offered the Flaminia with two bench-seats, and an option for two individual seats at the front. The four-on-the-tree gear selector proved a great solution for the vehicles with three seats at the front, but not that fortunate for the rest. In the back, the carmaker installed comfortable bench-seats with enough legroom for three passengers.
The 1963 Flaminia Sedan featured a 2.8-liter V6 engine paired to a standard 4-speed manual gearbox. An automated gearbox was offered as an option but without too much success.
