If there ever was a car that could be used as an image for the definition of ‘cute’, the original Fiat 500 is an extremely strong candidate. This tiny Italian city car had a nice production run from 1957 to 1975, during which nearly 3.9 million units found grateful owners. In fact, Fiat resurrected the nameplate in 2007 to great acclaim once again. If you’re looking for the original hit, here’s a 1966 Fiat 500 Nuova that’s been fully restored with just 22,700 miles on the clock. With fuel prices skyrocketing, this car is perfect for nipping to the shops, as well as enjoying a spirited drive in the countryside.
Dante Giacosa could not have imagined how much of a hit his design would be. The Fiat 500 is just short of 117 inches in length, and exactly 52 inches high and wide. This 1966 Fiat 500 Nuova showcases that pocket-sized perspective in a rather cheery shade of orange, with a black roll-back sunroof. It rolls on a set of dinky 12-inch rims wrapped in 145/70 Uniroyal radial tires. A single exhaust tip is visible at the rear. Notice the lack of any grille at the front? You won’t find the engine under the hood, instead you’ll find the fuel tank, as well as some space for modest luggage. The interior is in black, with a body-colored dash. Despite its tiny dimensions, the Fiat 500 somehow manages to offer seating for four occupants including the driver on two individual front seats with seat belts, and a rear bench seat. You get a speedometer that runs up to 120km/h (75mph), manual winding windows, an orange-tipped gear lever, a white two-spoke steering wheel, some switches for lights and wipers, an ashtray, and that’s it really. The key slots into the ignition barrel that’s situated right in the middle of the dash and fires up the engine.
What engine, you ask? This 1966 Fiat 500 Nuova wears its engine out back, and it’s a 0.5L (499cc to be precise) two-cylinder gasoline powerplant that happily putters away whilst delivering 21hp to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Top speed was reported to be 65mph when new, but this car isn’t meant for racking up speeding tickets as you’ve no doubt garnered by now. It’s reported that the engine and transmission are both original and have received a rebuild.

Bursting with character, iconic design, and captivating features, piloting an Italian car offers an unparalleled experience that cannot be replicated. In the spotlight today is a prime example of Italian automotive history, the 1938 Fiat Topolino Type A. This iconic piece of Italian motoring heritage transports you back to the golden age of automobiles and is complemented by a collection of historical documents and artifacts that enhance its provenance. Even more enticing, the car holds an A-/B+ rating from a certified appraiser, attesting to its quality and value.
The original Fiat 500, a true mobility revolution, captured the hearts of the Italian public when it made its debut in 1957. Measuring under ten feet in length and featuring an economical 500cc twin-cylinder engine tucked away in the tail, this charming city car left an indelible mark not only in Italy but across the globe. In the 2000s, Fiat embraced nostalgia by introducing the retro-modern version in 2007. Now, we present the latest iteration of the Fiat 500, having undergone a facelift in 2016 and continuing to roll off the production line. If you've ever yearned for a modern city car that stands out from its segment peers, cast your gaze upon this 2012 Fiat 500C Pop currently available for sale. With 58,800 miles recorded on the odometer, it offers the coveted convertible roof option for an extra dose of driving enjoyment.
The original Fiat 500 was the Topolino or ‘Little Mouse’ from way back in 1936, a dinky two-door car for the Italian masses. The second generation, also known as the Nuova 500 took over in 1957 and ran until 1975; a much-loved car to this date. Having a hit on their hands, Fiat decided to capitalize on that, and exactly fifty years later in 2007, debuted the Fiat 500 as a city car for the modern world. Amazingly, it’s still in production, fifteen years later. Of course, when you talk Fiat parlance, it’s hard to not remember the famous Abarth variants that were the performance models. The Abarth tag continues as well on select models, such as this 2019 Fiat 500 Abarth with 35,000 miles that we’ve got for sale. Would you like a zesty and zingy Italian car to zip around town with, as well as enjoy spirited country drives in? Here’s your ticket!
Italian drop-top sports cars are one of the purest ways to experience the thrills of driving in a raw, unfiltered manner. These cars are meant to dart about narrow streets and windy roads, using their light weight and small but eager engines to provide endless excitement. They are the antithesis of the large, hulking American automobile with its large V8 but lumbering progress. This is particularly so in the ’70s, when the Malaise Era meant that many of those V8s were strangled to under 200 horsepower but still tasked with moving 4,000-plus pound beasts. So, why not go for something that tips the scales at a little over 2,000 pounds (without driver)? Check out this reported 77,581-mile 1978 Fiat 124 Sport Spider that’s up for sale in Washington with a zesty four-cylinder engine and a manual gearbox. It’s your ideal weekend toy.
The 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider was renowned for being cheap and fun to drive. Affordable and good-looking, this Fiat coupe with a rear engine and rear wheel drive system paved its way as the Porsche for much less. The initial iteration is reported to have not met great success when it was first introduced in 1965, but Fiat saw potential. In 1968, their engineers turned things around. The initial 843 cc 4-cylinder engine was enlarged to 903 cc, producing 52 horsepower. While the 850 Sport Spider may not be the fastest sports car, it's known for its excellent handling. Its RR layout enables light and responsive steering, with the independent suspension benefitted road-holding thanks to its modest power. This particular model we have today shares the same story; having clocked a mere 8,055 miles, the current owner has taken good care of this tiny roadster with new parts and upholstery. It is up to date on servicing and is included with the original manual.
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.
