Italian term or phrase: quartetto
The term appears in an advertisement for a ocmpany that specializes in importing classic American cars. The author says of himself "da piccolo uno dei miei giochi preferiti erano i quartetti sulle auto et conoscevo praticamente tutte le caracteristiche tecniche di moltissimi autovetture." Clearly we are not talking here about the musical quartett, but some kind of publication, perhaps a flyer or catalogue, but I would appreciate any further precision.

Explanation:
Quartetto è uno dei nomi con cui è noto il gioco di carte "famiglie"

As he talks about technical characteristics, I think he's referring to a Top Trumps style card game.
