A sad but brilliant article. I didn't realise that Chivasso closed so long ago.

Interesting - and great photos of the production process.  We now have ANOTHER definition of "The Last Real Lancia" with the closure of

Iveco was incorporated on 1 January 1975, with the merger of five different brands: Fiat Veicoli Industriali (with headquarters in Turin, Italy), OM (Brescia, Italy), Lancia Veicoli Speciali (Italy), Unic (France) and Magirus-Deutz (Germany).[
