The Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8C Monterosa, bodied by Zagato, was an attempt by the ulta-luxury car maker to get back in the passenger car business after the war. Built in 1947, the car is remarkably like Tatra’s cars, most notably the T87. Look at all these features they both share: rear-mounted V8; long, streamlined four-door design, three headlights, hell just look at those two — they’re like brothers.
