Here’s our 1956 Mille Miglia backstory.

Car 424 O.S.C.A MT4

Driven by Umberto Maglioli

DNF

While I haven’t found much history on the car, the driver was very competitive throughout the 1950’s-1960’s having won the Targa Florio and participated in a number of F1 races.

O.S.C.A was a custom build race car manufacturer of the Maserati brothers.

Here’s our 1956 Mille Miglia backstory.

This is a Fiat 8V (Otto Vu). I’m not positive on the coachwork but it is probably Zagato given the double bubble roof. I’m still learning the very complicated ecosystem of coach building, tuning and chassis manufacturing of this time period. 

Driven by Carlo Fabi (I)/Aldo Pagliacci. They finished 39th.

Note the extra windshield wiper over driver position. Wire wheels, small hood scoop.
