1967 Fiat Dino Coupe

Every year in July, The Arthritis Foundation sponsors a car show in Dublin, OH. It features the best automotive variety of any show in the area. I’ve seen everything there from 1914 Detroit Electrics to late model Lamborghinis. 

My “car of note” from last year’s show is a 1967 Fiat Dino Coupe. This was the first Dino Coupe I’d seen “in the steel”. While it may not look exotic, it’s powered by the same V6 as the mid-engined Ferrari Dino of the same era. Ferrari had to build enough engines to qualify for F2 race competition, so they partnered with Fiat and contracted them to build enough to meet the requirement. To complete the package, the coachwork was done by Bertone. With it’s taut lines and great proportions, I think it’s one of the best looking small 2+2’s ever built.
