After Ernesto Pavesi's son Gianpaolo joined the company management, the business expanded its activities to include the manufacture of luxury bodies for passenger cars.
[citation needed] After the war, Pavesi refined Rolls-Royce and Ferrari vehicles for customers.
In the 1960s, Pavesi developed conversions for production vehicles, which in turn were produced in small series.
Pavesi produced Targa versions of the Iso Grifo, the Fiat Dino and the De Tomaso Pantera.
[citation needed] Another field of activity was the manufacture of armored cars for the Italian police and other government agencies – some Italian presidents drove vehicles that Pavesi had armoured – but also wealthy private customers.
