Overview of 1959 Fiat Bianchina For Sale by Owner

Here's a curio and something that's totally un-American! Check out this 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina, also known as the Fiat Bianchina, here. That's because this eye-catching, pint-sized automobile is based on the Fiat 500 of the time. The Fiat 500 was a tiny city car that redefined motoring in the crowded cities of Italy post-World War 2. These little cars, with their plucky air-cooled engines, helped the Italian public move with ease and quickly became cutesy curios across the world. This particular car bears just 20,000 original miles and comes to you with quite a few refurbishments and new parts. Why not buy it and make it your weekend de-stress tool? It's also a proper classic and will only appreciate in value over time. Finally, its simplicity means that keeping it in great nick won't cost you an arm and a leg. Let's learn more about this Kentucky-registered car.

Exterior and Interior

This cutesy (we can't say it enough) little 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina has received a new coat of red paint and looks like a little cherry on wheels. If you're wondering about its interesting side profile, that's because the car is actually a near-full convertible. A black canvas roof section can be folded down for an open-air experience. This sort of solution isn't unique to this car, but it's quite novel. Furthermore, we're told that this little car has received new chrome parts, as well as new tires that sit beautifully around the red-and-chrome wheel-and-hubcap combo. The interior of this 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina is upholstered in red and white leather. There are two low-back front seats for adults, who will be sitting very close together, plus a dinky rear seat that can accommodate two small kids. You see, Italian city cars weren't about acres of space but rather about being easy to drive and park. Italians didn't mind being in close proximity to each other as they chatted away about their lives. If you choose to take someone else in this car, you can do the same and see how much it brightens up the mood. Alternatively, you could fire up the Jensen radio cassette player and listen to some music.

Engine

What powers this 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina? At first glance, you might expect a 4-cylinder engine, maybe a 1.5-liter unit. Nada. Are you ready for a surprise? This car packs a 479cc (that's 0.48-liter) air-cooled two-cylinder engine in its tail. For the 1959 model year, power was slightly increased for a grand total of sixteen and a half horsepower! However, the car's light weight and 4-speed manual transmission mean that you can actually have fun. In fact, that's how this car is meant to be driven: foot hard to the floor, engine revving away, and the driver enjoying every moment. Hence, you'll be grateful for sure-footed handling, thanks to the independent front suspension with coil springs. The rear gets a solid axle with leaf springs. We're told that the engine has received a recent oil change.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
