Affordable Collecting - Part 9: 1000 Miglia, the most economical cars eligible for the race, 1950-1957

Our journey continues among the most accessible cars for experiencing the 1000 Miglia as true protagonists. After the first ten selections last week-covering the years from the origins to the immediate postwar period-we now move into the heart of the 1950s. It was a time when the automotive world was changing rapidly, yet the spirit of the Freccia Rossa remained unchanged. Sedans, evolved economy cars, and new interpretations of sporting touring entered the race, still offering today an attainable way to step into history. This is the second group of ten cars, though many others could appear at auction or through specialist dealers. It should be remembered that, among affordable cars, the organizers give priority to models that actually competed in the race at the time and still exist today.
