1927 Isotta Fraschini 8A S Roadster

If Alfa Romeo was the great Italian sports car of the 1930’s, the Isotta-Franchini was its luxury counterpart. This was the true thoroughbred of Italian motorcars in its day and the most popular foreign marque in the US except for the Rolls-Royce. These cars came with a guarantee that they could run at 2.5 MPH through 90 MPH in the same gear.

In Total about 950 Tips 8A’s were built during the 1925-1931 model run.

Taken at the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival.
