However, already in 1946 Fessia designed a FWD car for Cemsa, the famous Italian airplane builder who was trying to enter Italy’s post war car market [3]. Unfortunately, Cemsa Caproni never made it to production, only two were built.
Right, I won't dig any deeper. Hopefully your question was answered.

Thank you very much indeed Revo
That will help settle big arguments I had about why should Lancia go RWD again and not only Alfa Romeo...
