Debut at the Turin Motor Show
The Appia was launched in April 1953 at the Turin Motor Show and was priced at roughly 1.3 million Liras, marking Lancia’s entry into the post‑war compact market.
Three series, one engine
All three Appia series – from the initial run ending in 1956 to the final Series III produced between March 1959 and 27 April 1963 – shared the same 1089 cc Lancia V4 engine, demonstrating Lancia’s commitment to a consistent powerplant throughout the model’s lifespan.
Compact dimensions and rare hardtop
Measuring just 3.86 metres in length, the Appia was a notably small sedan for its era. A hardtop version was offered, and today those hardtop bodies are considered difficult to locate, adding to the model’s collector appeal.
