Dutch 1951 FIAT Topolino Estate brochure for your time! :P
How much space the designers fit into this little car is always impressive to me! :)

‘Stevig gebouwd en duurzaam’ means built tough and durable. Well, I guess they meant that in a very Italian way, since I can hardly imagine a 50's car from Italy to be durable.

Neat!
Actually, excepting things like Ferraris and Maseratis, a lot of Italian cars in the ‘40s-‘50s were quite reliable - a lot of them were dead simple (the Topolino, 500 and 600, for example).
There was a reason a lot of armies commandeered the Topolino as a staff car in WWII! :) It was actually built in France under license as a Simca, and under license in Germany under the NSU-FIAT brand...and if Germans think the engineering is OK, it can’t be that bad! :P
