It is a true icon on four wheels and one of the symbols of "made in Italy". Its unique and recognizable design is known all over the world. When the Italian carmaker created a small car, its goal was simple: to bring to the market a new compact car at a very affordable price, capable of increasing the number of potential customers. In addition, the new car should be easy to drive, even in city traffic, and have very low running costs. The Fiat 500 was launched in July 1957 and was an immediate success. 1965 saw the introduction of the 500F, the version with the most units produced. In accordance with the new laws, the Fiat 500F, which is easily recognizable by its front hinged doors, has adopted several technical and aesthetic improvements, such as a new frame and a wider windshield. The Fiat 500F, as it is today, is the most "classic" version of the entire production 500 and remains in the hearts of a huge number of car fans.
