Fiat 500 Period Photos

The Fiat 500 was built from 1957-1975.  This diminutive vehicle had a rear mounted straight-2 engine that was originally only 479 cc and 13 hp, although by 1972 the engine had grown to 594 cc and 23 hp.  The car was extremely popular throughout Europe, and serves as a very direct inspiration to the forthcoming new 500
