Mario Boano left Ghia in 1953 and in the following year founded his own company together with his son, Gianpaolo, and Luciano Pollo. Starting with an Alfa Romeo they used a variety of chassis' for their cars, including Ferrari and American models. Building cars for famous names, including Henry Ford Jnr and President Peron of Argentina gained them fame rapidly.
In 1957 both father and son moved to Fiat to establish an internal style centre for that company. The Carrozzeria Boano was refounded as Carrozzeria Ellena by Ezio Ellena (son-in-law of Boano) and Pollo and continued to make Ferrari's, Fiat's (including a 600 Multipla pick-up and a 1500 Coupe) and others until 1966 when they ceased business.
