The 1957 "Nuova 500" was the most famous Fiat. This 3-meter long car was the symbol of Italy, like the 2CV in France, the Mini in Great Britain or the VW Beetle in Germany. Here we have the 500 F, launched in 1965, equipped with front-hinged doors, whereas the 500 D had suicide doors.

Before World War II, the group Auto Union included four brands: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. But the racing models wore the name of Auto Union. The Italian pilot Luigi Fagioli (1898-1952) drove this streamline 1937 Tipo C, equipped with a 6-litre engine (520 hp). After the war, he raced for Alfa Romeo and was stealthily known in Formula 1.

Based on a Fiat 600, the first-generation Multipla (1956-1965) was a minivan before the category even existed: a single-volume shape and three rows of seats capable of carrying six passengers. There was also a 5-seater with two rows of seats. Its overall length was 3.54 m (139 in.). The maximum speed that the rear-mounted 2-cylinder 32 hp SAE could reach was 105 km/h.

Looks like a Fiat 500. This is an Abarth 595 SS. From the little Fiat, Abarth kept the appearance but at the rear, the engine no longer displayed 500 cc, but 595 cc, and the power was increased from 22 to 32 hp. Since it weighed only 495 kg/1,090 lbs, it was clearly the ancestor of the modern GTIs.
