The
Fiat 500 is a car produced by the Fiat company of Italy between
1957 and 1975, with limited production of the Fiat 500 K estate
continuing until 1977. The car was designed by Dante Giacosa. Launched
as the Nuova 500 in July 1957, it was marketed as a cheap and practical
town car. Measuring only 3 meters (~10 feet) long, and originally
powered by a tiny 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500
redefined the term "small car" and is considered one of
the first city cars. In 2007 Fiat launched a similar looking, retro-styled
car, the Fiat Nuova 500.
