Fiat 500 1957 Edition Pays Tribute To Its Retro Forefather
The famous Fiat 500 small city car made its debut in 1957 as the Nuova 500 or New 500, in Italy. Loved across Europe and outside for its compact, practical, not to mention adorable design, the Fiat 500 is considered as one of the cars that started the compact city car segment.
Nearly 6 decades later the car still exists and is ready to look back into its life with a special Fiat 500 1957 Edition. As the name suggests, the new limited edition model takes its design cues from the very first 500 and will be on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The Fiat 500 1957 Edition has a dual tone interior. Avorio (Ivory) interiors, with contrasting Marrone (Brown) seats, hand rests, gear shift lever, and steering inner ring, once again with Avorio accent stitching.
