#500b

It often happens to come across special cars built as unique specimens by a well-known coachbuilder, but how often does one of these cars belong to the coachbuilder himself? This is one such occasion. Indeed, this is the personal car of Giuseppe “Nuccio” Bertone, built in 1947 on the basis of a 1936 Fiat 500B. At the beginning of his career as a coachbuilder, Bertone had aspirations of becoming…

Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro

We have seen around some Fiat 500C with this configuration, but never a “B” series. This vehicle is not to be defined simply as rare, but very rare: we do not know whether it left the factory like this or, if the modification was made later than its birth, who made it; surely this is not a modification carried out in the garage but by some body shop specializing in this type of work, too bad…

There are no “official” statistics about the number of surviving cars, but interest groups on this car believe that, to date, the surviving examples…
