A Letter from Fulvia
Posted: 13 Mar 2008, 18:47
Hello, I am only the translator of the below story, which was written in a foreign (for some) language
& needs translation in this foreign (for some) language; since simply writing it in its original ( I assume) language would make it difficult, if not impossible, for some to understand. No additional words have been added nor any modifications to the words Filvia wrote.
Fulvia wrote in a Magzine published in Europe in 2006, Titled "Auto-Biography-Timeless Elegance - Lancia
in which selected other Lancia Models - older & newer - also had their say
Fulvia's Words: " Did you know that I had the the 'stuff' to be a Film Star ? "
I was born as a Limousine. In 1963. I was baptised "Fulvia", out of respect for the emincipated & fierce wife of the Roman Politician Marcus Antonius.
With my rectangular &, for the times, non-conformist, asthetic I lent grace to my name.
In 1965 I was presented as a initially fragile looking, precious 2+2, the FULVIA COUPE; soon thereafter as a Zagato creation, of wonderfully eleganct sporty variation, the LANCIA FULVIA SPORT.
Both variations are extremly popular classics; to afficianados & fans of 70's design.
Back then I knew how to 'capture the spotlight' , with my extravagant presence. Thus, I was given the roll of starring in films. "Scorpio" with Alain Delon, or "Frantic" with Harrison Ford. Keep your eyes open the next time you go to the movies
