The Lancia Aurelia is a car manufactured and marketed by the Italian company, Lancia, from 1950 to the summer of 1958 — over a course of six series. Configurations included a 4-door saloon/sedan, 2-door cabriolet (B50/B52), 2-door GT coupé (B20), 2-door spider/convertible (B24), and as a rolling chassis for coachbuilders. The Aurelia is noted for using one of the first series-production V6 engines.
Establishing a post-war Lancia tradition, the car was named after a Roman road: the Via Aurelia, leading from Rome to Pisa.
