1975 Fiat 500

Description

There's something exceptionally cool about an Italian mini car. When it's done right, like this 1975 Fiat 500, you just want to put on your Gucci loafers and go for a drive.

This little car has a beautiful shade of dark blue that makes it look like a true sophisticate. The shine shows off the kind of lines that would earn this little 500 some major style award for many decades after it left production. And the desire is in the details. There's the right amount of flair with chrome bumpers and headlight bezels. And we especially like how the whitewall tires have an extra red line to go with the new red folding top. As good as this one looks, it's also a car you won't hesitate to drive. After all, that rear rack is the perfect palace to mount your wicker picnic basket. Fans of the 500 will recognize this final run of the model. This "R" model benefits from two decades of evolution while still keeping the iconic silhouette. And since its replacement was already on the road, a 1975 model is quite a bit rarer than previous years. So this one really represents a grand finale for a little car.

The restored red interior is a reminder that small can still be stylish. This has the clean look of a well-kept classic and an overall feeling of a hardy driver. It's surprisingly accommodating for its size, and the big open roof was part of the key to even making this feel overcrowded. The thin/grippy steering wheel and Veglia speedometer with shift markings are pure, simple, and cool - exactly what makes for the best in Italian style.

The engine is part of the Fiat 500 charm. It's a twin-cylinder 479cc motor that has built such a hardy reputation that it was even used for the car's successor. It's placed over the back wheels for maximum traction and minimum power loss. It still won't set speed records, but you already knew that. Instead, it runs like a sewing machine and loves to rev. So it's quite a bit of fun with the control of the four-speed manual transmission and light/nibble steering.

This is the kind of little style icon that can draw big crowds at car shows. And don't be surprised if you're asked to rent it out for promotions or commercials. Because after all, something this cool, complete, and stylish is an irresistible classic. Call today!!!
