The Tipo 8A possessed power and speed that was synonymous by its refined engineering of the large eight cylinder engine.
With the length of the engine being so grand, it allowed the coachbuilder to produce a long hood and cowl, which made
the Tipo 8 so recognizable. Castagna artisans, once again, created a stunning cabriolet.
This model was first displayed at the prestigious hotel Commodore Salon in New York in 1929 and was so popular that ten
others called "Commodore" were built. This example is one of two known to exist.
At the time theses photos were taken, the price was $1,250,000.
