Vehicle description

Model history:

The introduction of the Fiat 500 Topolino in 1936 was a significant milestone in the history of the Italian automotive industry. This iconic vehicle was available on the market from 1936 to 1955, during which time it became one of the most recognizable and popular small cars in the world. A total of almost 520,000 Fiat 500 Topolinos were produced. Apart from its unique design, which continued in later models, the Fiat 500 also had some technical innovations to offer. A new engine and other changes to the design of the vehicle made the Topolino a modern and progressive car of its time.
