FORT WORTH, TX, May 14, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An exquisite blend of Italian artistry and racing pedigree is now turning heads at the DFW Car & Toy Museum. The 1959 Fiat-Abarth 750 GT Zagato, part of the elite Ron Sturgeon Collection, represents one of the most celebrated examples of mid-century motorsport engineering—crafted with performance, elegance, and innovation in mind.

Built on the Fiat 600 platform, development of the Abarth-engineered 750 GT began in 1955, with its production debut following in March 1956. At the heart of this vehicle's appeal is its hand-formed aluminum bodywork, sculpted by the iconic coachbuilder Zagato in Milan. The double-bubble roof—a signature Zagato design—enhances aerodynamics and driver headroom, while the twin rear intake scoops, aluminum bumperettes, and dual sail panel vents further distinguish the 750 GT as a lightweight contender with serious style.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission, with performance aided by a PBS finned oil sump—designed to improve cooling during spirited driving and competitive events. This car's racing heritage is no less impressive: the platform enjoyed significant success in both Europe and the U.S., including a class win in the legendary 1957 Mille Miglia.

"This car is the very essence of what made post-war European motorsports so exciting," says Ron Sturgeon, founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum. "The Zagato-bodied 750 GT is not only a triumph of engineering and design—it's a celebration of the ingenuity that turned small cars into big winners on the track."

With production concluding in 1960, the Fiat-Abarth 750 GT Zagato remains a rare and coveted gem among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Visitors to the DFW Car & Toy Museum can see this breathtaking racer up close, along with more than 200 vehicles and 3,000 toys and collectibles that celebrate the golden age of automotive innovation.

Where legends live, and history rides again.
