The Lancia Ardea is an automobile made by Lancia and was produced from autumn 1939 to early 1953 in a number of 23,000.

In addition to the sedan and cabriolet , the vehicle was also available in a long version as a taxi and in the commercial vehicle variants "Furgoncini" (station wagon) and "Camioncini" (pick-up).

In autumn 1948 there was a Coupé from Zagato based on Ardea, the Panoramica . The name Ardea goes back to the place of the same name . In terms of price, the Ardea was located above the rival Fiat 1100 . In the spring of 1953, the successor model Lancia Appia was presented.
