Did you ever buy a brand new car? Brigitte Bardot did in May 1967, which simply had to lead to another photo shoot. Exactly 50 years later we’re happy to show the result once more to you here. That’s not just a fine lady – was she at her peak at the time? – but certainly also a fine vehicle. A Lancia Flavia Convertible, by the great Vignale. The winter preceeding it, Bardot had enjoyed the comforts of her Rolls-Royce (see here) but with the sun coming out the time had come for some joyful open-top motoring at the French Riviera. Lancia must have loved it, aiming perhaps right at women of the world like Bardot. see this brochure. Oh - and five decades on, La Bardot still makes herself heard...
