Fiat 850t by Coriasco – 1974

The Fiat 850 was introduced in 1964 as a successor to the Fiat 600 series of cars. It was produced in a variety of body styles including a two door sedan, a coupe, and a van.

The coachbuilding company Coriasco was established in 1921 by Giovanni Coriasco and his son Giuseppe. They initially built variations of normal passenger vehicles but by the late 1930s they found themselves predominately making commercial conversions of Fiats. Coriasco produced this drop-side pickup conversion throughout the late 1960s and 1970s.

This truck was graciously donated to Lane Motor Museum by the Singer family in Knoxville, Tennessee after years of hosting Trunk-or-Treats and other community-oriented events.
