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.

2014 Fiat 500L [w/video]

Practicality From The Italian Ministry of Cute
As seen in the correct Italian/European light, Fiat is rightly dubbed a small car kingdom. This is not the marque's whole story, though, and it's certainly not a way Fiat appreciates being pigeonholed. But even the brand itself sort of has to admit that, in the end, without clever and right-priced smaller cars in its lineup, it might not even exist today.
Between the early 1980s and the dawn of the 21st century, however, the Fiat brand seemingly did everything it could to wreck itself and its core compact-car reputation by producing a series of certifiably unamazing cars that mostly looked drab and behaved below average. Just go have a gander at the Ritmo, the Uno, the Duna, the 1992-98 Cinquecento, 2004-07 Seicento/600, and the most recent European mega-flop, the Stilo, discontinued in 2008. Thankfully, almost right out of the gates since the mid-aughts, however, that has no longer been the case.

Fiat Chrysler, Peugeot announce merger as world's No. 4 carmaker

Thu, Oct 31 2019

MILAN  — Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA Peugeot said Thursday they have agreed to merge to create the world's fourth-largest automaker with enough scale to confront big shifts in the industry, including a race to develop electric cars and driverless technologies. Italian-American Fiat Chrysler brings with it a strong footprint in North America, where it makes at least two-thirds of its profits, while Peugeot is the No. 2 automaker in Europe. Both lag in China, however, despite the participation of Peugeot's Chinese shareholder, Dongfeng, and are playing catching up in developing electric vehicles. Fiat Chrysler shares were trading up 9% at 14 euros in Milan, while PSA Peugeot shares were down 3.2% to 22.84 euros. The 50-50 merger is expected to offer savings of 3.7 billion euros ($4 billion), which the automakers expect to achieve without any factory closures — a concern of unions in both France and Italy where the carmakers have more overlap. Fiat Chrysler's strongest brands are Jeep SUVs and Ram trucks and it is focusing on relaunching its premium and luxury brands, Alfa Romeo and Maserati, with a focus on hybrid engines. It still makes smaller cars under the Fiat marquee, mostly for the European and Latin American markets. PSA Peugeot makes mostly small, city-friendly cars, family sedans and SUVs under the nameplates of Peugeot, Citroen and Germany-based Opel, which it bought in 2017. That is where the companies can expect to have the most overlap. The new company would be worth $50 billion, with revenue of 170 billion euros ($189 billion). It would produce 8.7 million cars a year — still behind Toyota, Volkswagen and the Renault-Nissan alliance, which make over 10 million each. Once a merger is finalized, PSA Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares will be chief executive of the new company, with Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann becoming chairman. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will have a senior executive role. "This convergence brings significant value to all the stakeholders and opens a bright future for the combined entity," Tavares said in a statement. Manley called it "an industry-changing combination," and noted the long history of cooperation with Peugeot in industrial vehicles in Europe. The 11-member board will be made up of five members from each company plus Tavares, who is locked in as CEO for five years.

Marchionne says Fiat Chrysler can make 6 million cars per year

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The combined Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will see its production capacity increase from a projected 4.6 million in 2014 to 6 million units once it completes its integration, according to statements made by FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"With the initiatives we will announce in May, six million is accessible," Marchionne said during a Fiat shareholders' meeting in Turin, according to The Detroit News. Marchionne is aiming to complete the merger between the Turin, Italy-based Fiat and the Auburn Hills, MI-based Chrysler by the end of this year.
Increasing production by 1.4 million units is no small order, particularly when combined Fiat and Chrysler sales have increased only modestly in the past few years - only 4.4 million units were sold in 2013, and while 4.6 million is projected for 2014, 4.5 million is also a distinct possibility. Six million units per year has been Marchionne's self-imposed goal for the combined automaker, according to The News, claiming that FCA would need to crest that point to achieve profitability.
