Chassis:
Following its April 1955 Turin Motor Show debut, the unique Abarth 209A Boano Coupe was also shown in Geneva before being shipped to the United States. Here it was displayed at the Chicago Auto Show before it was sold to its first private owner, who was from the Chicago area. During the 1960s, it made a few public appearances at classic car shows. Still in remarkably original condition, it was acquired by Peter Kaus for his exquisite Rosso Bianco Museum, which, at one point, housed more Abarths than any other collection in the world. When the entire collection was absorbed into the Louwman Collection, this was the one Abarth retained for display in the new Louwman Museum that opened its doors in April of 2010.
