1957 Fiat 500


Publicity photos for the 1957 Fiat 500, manufactured from 1957 to 1975 in 2 door sedan and 3 door estate car variants.  The engine size (2 cylinder) was 479 cc, hence the 500 name, and its shape and popularity made it probably Italy's most iconic small car, although a being so small (only 3 metres long) it is a little hard to compare it exactly to the Morris Minor and the Citroen 2CV.  It was known in New Zealand as the Fiat Bambina.
