As one of the original "city cars" the Fiat 500 began production in 1957 as the Nuova 500. It had a 479cc engine, rear-hinged doors, and produced 13 horse power. As a way to show their pride in this original model, the modern Fiat 500 can now be purchased as a retro-styled model known as the "1957".

The Nuova changed to the "D" model in 1960 and the engine size increased to 499cc and a whopping 17 horse power. The "L" or Lusso model began production in 1968 and is the luxury model of all Fiat 500s.

This vehicle is a 1972 model year, was imported from Italy, and has 88,000 Kilometers on the odometer. It is a dark orange in color with a black interior. The paint is new and the interior is in excellent condition with one tear in the lower dashboard vinyl. It was mechanically gone through before being shipped and runs very well with no mechanical problems. The tires are also new, and all electrics function as they should.

It is a fun car to drive and starts a conversation everywhere you go. I imported this vehicle and another with the idea of keeping and driving them, but now I need to move this 500L along.

It does not have a US title, but has all of the paperwork needed to obtain one if desired including the importation documents, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) form, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) declaration.

Purchasing and shipping: Shipping for this vehicle is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. If you purchase this vehicle, please don't interpret that as the opportunity to negotiate for a lower price. That being said, I realize that purchasing any vehicle online can be nerve-wracking, therefore; if you arrive to take ownership of this 500L and are not happy in any way, just pay my listing fees (about $150), we'll part as friends, and I'll contact the next bidder or re-list it.

The vehicle is for sale locally, so I may end this listing early.

Thanks for the interest, and email mail me with any questions.

Fiat opens up vintage-style 1957 Edition to 500 Cabrio

Wed, Apr 15 2015

If you liked the 1957 edition 500 that Fiat introduced over a year ago but really wanted the open-air flexibility of the 500C, we've got good news for you: The Italian automaker has extended the vintage-look edition to the convertible model. Celebrating "the spirit of the original 1957 Nuova 500," the 1957 Edition adopts a vintage look with retro 16-inch wheels with a wide chrome lip and body-colored hub along with throwback Fiat logos front and rear and a sport-tuned suspension. It's also got an ivory interior, brown leather seats with ivory stitching, grey door panels and more. And of course the convertible version comes with a canvas roof panel to let in the air and sunshine. The 1957 Edition will be offered in white, light green or baby blue. Pricing for the US starts at $24,700, representing a $1,900 premium over the Lounge trim on which it's based.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Fiat 500 commercial expanded into 'Sexy People' music video

Tue, 07 May 2013

The last time we wrote about the Fiat USA commercial Immigrants, it was to question whether the ad provided our first glimpse of the 500T. That was a year ago, but Fiat isn't finished utilizing that commercial theme. The song in the one-minute commercial was Sexy People (All Around the World) by Italian songstress Arianna, and the Immigrant commercial has been lengthened and turned into a music video for the song as Arianna prepares that track and more for her first studio album.
The tune features Pit Bull and the clip is like a hip-hop video meets The Little Mermaid. Well, until Charlie Sheen shows up. That's when it starts Winning, and you can enjoy it all in the video below, along with the original ad from Fiat.
