Pininfarina really did sell the same design everywhere since at first glance that Fiat could easily be an Austin A60 or Peugeot 404
These were manufactured under license in Spain as the SEAT 1500 and 1800D
And screw everyone I would love to own and drive one of these. I don’t know why.
A common sight in 1960’s Fiat car photoshoots, large fans were needed to blow off excess condensation forming on the cars during the wet season in that mediterranean climate. Experience told them that cars would actually rust through during the photoshoots otherwise.
So the fan needed to be in the picture? I refute your logic and replace it with my own. Which is so damn hot wear suits to demonstrate regal, professional or business and yeah cool the damn people off under hot lights. I apologize I’m just that guy who is spock like in logic.
So, clearly an air-cooled Fiat
I once owned a used Fiat 1100 D. It was a turd – the fan is to blow away the smell…
I had a 67 1100 D station wagon. Three on the tree. Loved that car.
Today’s Cold Start really blows.
The fan is leftover from the 0-60 runs where it provided an assisting tailwind.
FIAT couldn’t find an 1800 with a left front fender that matched the rest of the car? The car guys must hate the marketing guys.
Looks to me as if the whole front clip might have been repainted. That tells me it was probably a press-fleet car before being used for photos.
That’s frost on the front fender. The car is so chill.
When I was a kid I had this awesome toy set that came with rolling “frames” for toy cars, and molds that you could press aluminum foil into in order to make bodies for them. The result was a foil-bodied car that you could paint with markers, then thoroughly wreck into an oblivion of twisted metal before starting all over again. Like I said… awesome.
Anyway, this car totally reminds me of a tinfoil car body on a plastic toy frame.
I had something like that, but came with plastic sheets and instead of foil. The thing was basically an easybake oven adapted for vacuum molding. Never did work very well, but molding the body shells was great fun
But does the Fiat hit the fan?
Looks more like a propeller on a wooden stand
This cold start is a (prop) wash
Props for that bit of recognition.
And screw everyone I would love to own and drive one of these. I don’t know.
Astute comment. I didn’t notice and am unsure of the era but the osha laws did require a cage around the blades on fans.
I’m blown away.
It blue me away.
