1964 Citroen DS21 Decapotable by Chapron: $246,400

1957 Iso Isettacarro: $50,400

1965 Citroen 2CV Sahara: $106,400

1963 Tatra 2-603: $75,600

Iso Rivolta Fidia for sale

These oddball Italian luxobarges are fascinating. Here is BAT's write-up. 

Vital stats:

• When new, cost more than a Rolls.
• John Lennon owned one of these.
• First came with Chevy V8, then Ford V8.
• Its closest competitor in sales numbers was the Quattroporte.

This example is for sale at Gallery Brummen. Have any of you ever visited their showroom? It must be amazing.
