Wonderful indeed! Didn't know that Beta Coupè were sold in the USA...

I know Lancias were officially sold in the US and Canada (?) from 1975 to 1983, but what models did we get? Outside of the Beta Coupé, I mean?

Going by NADA guides, the US received all body styles of the Beta and the Scorpion (known in Europe as the Montecarlo or Beta Montecarlo). They also list the Stratos but that wasn't officially imported.

The Delta will for sure be an import. Rules on that are much more lax in Canada and things like the Integrale will have a lot of collector interest (they are worth a lot even in Europe).

Here's the made for USA and CDN Lancias. Fulvia is an oddity (possibly a grey import).

We still need to find a HPE and a Sedan.

Bit of info here: http://www.hemmings.com/hsx/stories/2011/06/01/hmn_buyers_guide1.html (they seem to miss mentioning the cars reputation as one of the most notorious rust buckets of all time - unless the ones that went to the US were better than the UK ones).

They were not. That's why they are so hard to find now, especially the Sedan and HPE models, which were never that popular when new.

Lancias were available up until 1967 (they were imported by Hoffman Motors), then stopped until 1975 (under Fiat ownership). The Coupe and Sedan arrived first in 1975, The Scorpion and HPE hatch followed in 1976 (the Scorpion only lasted to 1977), the Zagato was last to arrive for 1979. The Sedan and HPE were discontinued in 1980, the Coupe lasted until 1981, and the Zagato until 1982, but there were leftovers until 1983.

What models did Hoffman Motors import? Also, is there any real reason why the Beta Coupé seemingly sold better than Sedan and HPE?
