Model history
The Fiat 500, also known as the "Cinquecento," was produced from 1957 as the new entry-level model from Italian car manufacturer Fiat. It was developed under the direction of Dante Giacosa, who had been pursuing ideas for a microcar with a displacement of around 400 cc since the 1930s. As the successor to the Topolino, the Fiat 500 was officially named "Nuova 500," although it had no technical similarities with its predecessor. By 1977, over 3.7 million units had rolled off the production line, including the Giardiniera station wagon version and several special models. Today, the Fiat 500 is considered a symbol of Italian automotive history and an icon of the post-war era.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der „Cinquecento“ („Fünfhundert“) [in Deutschland liebevoll "Knutschkugel] hatte Einzelradaufhängung, selbsttragende Karosserie und einen luftgekühlten Heckmotor. Der zweifach gelagerte Zweizylinder-Reihenmotor, ein „Gleichläufer“ (Parallel-Twin) mit hängenden Ventilen und einem Hubraum von 479 cm³, leistete 10 kW (13,5 PS). Über ein unsynchronisiertes Viergang-Getriebe mit Klauenschaltung, das mit dem Differential verblockt war, wurden die Hinterräder angetrieben. Der Wagen erreichte maximal 85 km/h. Die Vorderräder waren an oberen Dreieckslenkern und einer unteren Querblattfeder aufgehängt, die das Rad als Lenker führte und als Feder und Stabilisator diente. Im Lenkgetriebe wirkte eine Schnecke auf ein Zahnsegment; die Spurstange war dreigeteilt. Die hintere Schräglenkerachse hatte Schraubenfedern. LG Tom
