This car is rare. Not just because of its age, already at its time it was rare, few copies were produced. It was exported to the US, where the somewhat undersized engine was not such an issue due to the speedlimit. 170 km/h was possible with the first copies, produced until 1964. After that the tuned 1500 engine was replaced by the normal saloon/sedan engine, decreasing its speed. It was not the first time that Fiat laid the full production of a car into the hands of one designer. Definetely, a beautiful piece of art, this time not by Pininfarina or Bertone.
