    Italmechanica made a sports car in the early 50's and I'd like to find pics of one. I've searched but had no luck. There were only about ten made. They came with a Ford flathead motor sporting the front mount blower that I have.

    Any idea of where or how I should search for pics? Thanks

    I think you have the spelling wrong.
    Try doing a google search using - Italmeccanica -
    You might find a link with pix in the 800 plus search results.

    Italmeccanica was a small company that produced engines for the fiat racing department. In Italy they were known as I.T. Supercharges.

    Here is a link:

    Good luck

    Metalshapes..thanks! That proves the car did exist. Wasn't sure if I was on a wild goose chase.

    Beach bum...I'll try that.

    I guess it would be good if I spelled it right. I think I did when I did my first search. I got a lot of sights but nothing to do with the car.
