I saw this video shared by Mario the Multipla and thought Oppo would love a Fiat ad from 1957

If Kinja works? picture of Mario the multipla for reference

Love the ad! I’ve seen it many times before, but it’s always entertaining for being so Italian and ‘50’s :P

I’ll still have either a FIAT 126 or a classic 500 in my garage someday!

I want a 500 so bad, with a synchronised gearbox and motor from a 126 for the power.

Exactly the same as me - I’d do the 126 engine/trans swap as well, and possibly a disc brake conversion for a bit more safety! The downside is that the 500 has shot up in price...that’s why I’m seriously considering importing a 126 from Poland instead...almost the same unique experience, just a different body design. You could get one in pretty decent shape for like $3500 all-told imported to Canada with the exchange rate :) .

Borsuq’s post series has especially made the little boxes grow on me! :)
