Fiat 500 Giardinera 1950
General description :
1950 FIAT 500C Giardiniera Station WagonThis 1950 Fiat 500C Giardiniera Station Wagon is an extremely original find that's in need of complete restoration. Metallic green with brown interior and retractable soft-top. This rare and sought-after "woody" has been sitting in storage for several years and is not currently running. A fun and exciting project for any Fiat or micro-car collector. It's both complete and highly original but the wood is in a state of deterioration at this point in time. For 1949, the Topolino was given a dramatic facelift, as the 500C. A wider horizontal grille looked more up-to-date, and the tail of the coupe and cabriolet was lengthened. A new model was the Giardiniera, literally "gardener," a compact little station wagon. It was built by Fiat's in-house Carrozzerie Speciali operation, which, as the name implied, was a special coachwork division. Some of these (like this particular example) had real wood on the exterior, others had stamped metal panels that could be painted in contrasting colors or treated in the manner of faux timber. The 500C remained in production through 1954 and represents a true milestone for the industry as an early multipurpose 'people carrier'.Engine: Spark ignition 4-strokeDisplacement: 34.9 cu. in.Horsepower: 16 hp @ 4,400 RPMTorque: 22 lb-ft @ 2,900 RPMTransmission: 4-speed manual

About Fiat
Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (FIAT to you and I) was founded by Giovanni Agnelli in 1899. Their first car 3 ½ CV had a strong resembledence to contemporary Benz, only 25 examples were built. By 1910 Fiat had established itself as Italia's biggest car manufacturer and expanded to the US, where a new plant was built in Poughkeepsie, NY.At that time Fiat cars were big and luxurious barges for the wealthy or barking mad racing cars like S76 , The beast of Turin, with its 290HP 28.5-liter, four-cylinder engine.
However, today Fiat is better reknown for its small symphatic peoples carriers, Topolino, 500 "Cinquecento" and 600.
