OSI mustang; made by short lived Italian firm; maybe they only made one


Recommended Posts

It was not a particularly good looking car. Their Taunus based car actually reached production, over 2000 were made.But the Mustang, which was shown painted white, apparently didn't pique ford's interest. Its only contribution to styling was headlights that lay flat until you turned them on and then they popped up, a la Porsche 928. Any other outstanding cars by OSI?

OSI (Officine Stampaggi Industriali) built cars at Turin between 1963 and 1968. The company was originally founded in 1960 by Ghia, manufacturing bodies and components for the Innocenti S and Fiat 2300 coupe. The first original OSI was a spyder and coupe based on the Fiat 1200, followed by a coupe based on the Fiat 850 and a 4-door version of the Alfa Romeo 2600. After the Taunus, the 1966 Cross Country was a Jeep-style vehicle using Fiat 124 parts, followed by the similat Week-End, based on Fiat 850 parts. Here is a photo of the Fiat 1200:
