Ansaldo 4CS

Ansaldo, primarily known for shipbuilding and locomotives, briefly entered the automotive market after World War I. The 4CS featured sophisticated engineering including four-wheel brakes, unusual for the period. Despite quality construction, Ansaldo couldn't compete with established automakers and exited the car business in 1929. The company's engineering expertise was evident in the car's robust construction and advanced features.
