The Lancia Flaminia, named after the Via Flaminia, the road leading from Rome to Rimini, was produced from 1957 to 1960. It was Lancia's flagship at that time, replacing the Aurelia. Throughout its lifetime it saw various versions as saloons, coupés and cabriolets. Even four stretched presidential limousines were built by Pininfarina for state occasions. The Flaminia coupé and convertible were coachbuilt cars with bodies from several prestigious Italian coachbuilders. The coupé models outsold the four-door Berlina, which was a rare occurrence at the time, considering the coupés were considerably more expensive.

Carrozzeria Touring designed and built the aluminum bodied two-door versions of the Flaminia, which can be easily distinguished by their four-round headlights (rather than two on Pininfarina Flaminias), and a shorter cabin. The wheelbase was decreased significantly for the GT and Convertibile, allowing for a maximum of two seats to be mounted. The GT was a coupé, while the Convertibile was the cabriolet version. The GTL, introduced in 1962, was a 2+2 version of the GT with a slightly longer wheelbase.

In total, only 847 Lancia Flaminia 3C 2500 Touring Convertibles were built. This specific car is built in the last production year that the 2.5 litre engine with three twin Weber carburettors was applied. From this series 247 cars were built. This car is number 99 of that serie. It was delivered new in the USA and came to Holland in 1990, when a Dutch classic car enthousiast imported the car. He started working on the first restoration work. In 1997 the car was sold to the present owner who continued the restoration. Restoring the interior, all the mechanics, engine, gearbox, brakes, sub frame, body, etc. After the work was done the car ran perfect and was greatly enjoyed by its owner.
