[About the actual car]
- Nicknamed Nuova Cinquecento (New 500), the second-generation Fiat 500 was a small, popular car beloved by the Italian people.
- It was produced between 1957 and 1975, undergoing several small improvements, and production figures are said to have reached 3,678,000 units.
- The car was designed and engineered by Dante Giacosa, a rare pioneer in automotive engineering.
- Although its overall length, width and height are 2,970mm x 1,320mm x 1,325mm, slightly smaller than a Japanese minicar, its streamlined package with a 500cc air-cooled two-cylinder engine mounted in the rear ensures space for four people.
- It became a huge hit upon its debut and gained popularity not only in Italy but also in other countries.
- The Nuova Cinquecento is truly a great car that can be said to be a symbol of Italian automotive culture.
