No idea what this was originally but it looks awesome now

An extremely rare Fiat 8V Ghia Supersonic on display along with a rebuilt engine at Saratoga Auto Museum’s Forza Italia! exhibit. The engine is a 2.0 liter V-8 with twin Weber carbs mated to a 4-speed transmission, a combination which proved successful in racing. Of the 114 Bv’s built, only 15 of them were Supersonics like this example.
