This is the original Fiat 500 from the 1950s. 2 cylinder air-cooled rear engine

Fiat bought Chrysler. They want to invigorate the small car sales in the USA. They decided to go retro and introduce the Fiat 500.

After WWII - Fiat made a small sedan called the 500 because of the small under 500cc two cylinder engines. The economy after the war called for very low priced cars that got excellent gas mileage.

Lulu has fallen for the new Fiat 500C. It has an electric sliding roof - is very small like the Mini and retro VW. It seats 4 - is about 10 feet long. The doors are tall enough that access is easy for gray heads to egress.

The cars will be in America this fall.
