The adorable first Fiat 500, also called Topolino, was launched in 1936. The first discrete changes appeared in 1948 when it was renamed 500B. Then it became 500C in 1949, and was equipped with a significantly modernized and thinner front grille. The Giardiniera was the station wagon version, looking like an American woodie… but measuring only 3.31 meter-long (130 in.)!
