2028: 120th Anniversary of the birth of Carlo Abarth (1908-1979)

9 cars are counted for this anniversary

Carlo Abarth (15 November 1908 – 24 October 1979), born Karl Albert Abarth, was an automobile designer and entrepreneur. Founder of the homonymous factory.

Abarth was born in Austria, but later was naturalized as an Italian citizen; and at this time his first name was changed to its Italian equivalent.

We'll publish a biography on him on the occasion of his anniversary or when it will reach a sufficient number of cars.
