Fiat 500 - The feedom car / L'utilitaria della libertà

This book is, first of all, a useful guide for all those who intend to get to know and restore the 500. Often when dealing with restoration we rely on "hearsay", or on information not supported by adequate material, which almost always inevitably leads to mistakes.

Here we have tried to enclose all the information to face a philologically and historically correct restoration. We talk about colors, combinations, suppliers and individual components. All the information is based on irrefutable paper documents, spare parts catalogs, workshop manuals and overall finishing of the Fiat itself, the result of a meticulous and long research, made for pure passion of the 500.
In addition there is a chapter with some advice on buying the car and how to deal with it.

Fiat 500 (Bewegte Zeiten)

Knuffig-runde Form, charmantes Gesicht und große Kulleraugen - als der Fiat 500 im Juli 1957 das Licht der Autowelt erblickte, schmolzen zahlreiche Herzen dahin. Der Winzling aus Turin, der es anfangs mit nur 13 PS gerade so auf Tempo 85 schaffte, wurde zu einem der beliebtesten Automodelle aller Zeiten und erreichte ähnlichen Kultstatus wie der VW Käfer und der Citroën 2CV.

Bis heute ist der Fiat 500 als Oldtimer heißbegehrt. In den 60er und 70er Jahren meisterte er den Spagat zwischen erschwinglichem Transportmittel - für rund 3000 DM war er zu haben - und der Verkörperung eines Lebensgefühls. Und das trotz spartanischer Ausstattung und wenig Platz für Gepäck. Innen war das Familienauto im Kleinformat jedoch erstaunlich geräumig und sobald man das Faltdach aus Stoff mit wenigen Handgriffen über der Heckmotorhaube zusammengefaltet hatte, kam im Fiat 500 sogar Cabrio-Feeling auf.

• Der liebevoll gestaltete Bildband "Bewegte Zeiten - Fiat 500" geht dem Phänomen der süßen Knutschkugel auf die Spur. Sorgfältig recherchierte Texte vermitteln spannende Hintergrundinformationen zur Entstehung und Modellgeschichte des vierrädrigen Sympathieträgers und beleuchten die gesamte Bauzeit von 1957 bis 1975.

Fiat 500

The Fiat 500 is, perhaps, the car that marked an epoch more than any other. Five million examples were built between the time the car was introduced back in 1957 and 1975, when Turin decided to end its production.
This book tells the story of the extraordinary little Fiat, analysing its industrial, technical and commercial aspects. Production numbers, detailed technical specifications, chassis numbers, cut-away illustrations of its mechanics and body, period pictures in colour and black and white bring the 500 back to life model by model, providing a useful support for the car's correct restoration.
