At the end of the 1960s, Fiat offered a large sedan with the 130. From spring 1971 the luxurious 130 Coup\u00e9 was added to their range. This body variant wasn’t originally planned. Fiat wanted to stir up the upper middle class in Europe with the sedan designed by Mario Felice Boano. However, sales figures fell well short of expectations. The brand’s board of management therefore decided to expand the model range after all. Pininfarina was commissioned with the design. The specification was to use the uncut chassis of the 130 sedan. This task was taken over by the designers Leonardo Fioravanti and Paolo Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More beautiful design than with the sedan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The result had stylistically nothing to do with the pompous sedan. Trapezoidal lines provided the elegance that was familiar from Italy. Sergio Pininfarina described the Fiat 130 Coup\u00e9 as a “masterpiece of simplicity” and put it in the same category as designs such as the Lancia Florida II. In 1972, his company received the Design Award of the Italian trade magazine ‘Style Auto’ for the 130 Coup\u00e9. The interior was also given a new look. The independently drawn dashboard with wood decor included numerous round instruments. It was considered so beautiful by the Fiat executive board, that it was adopted for the sedan at the same time as the Coup\u00e9 was launched. The occupants were seated on velour seats ex works.<\/p>\n\n\n
