This has got to be the rarest street spot of this month so far, if not the year. That’s amazing.

It is definitely the first time I have ever seen one. The interior is incredibly tiny. The two seats are barely wide enough to seat two full-sized adults.

Where did you see it? It looks pretty hip and gentrified, perfect for spotting an eccentric old-money ride.

It is parked in downtown DeLand, FL. I have never seen it in town before. Maybe the owner is in town for Daytona Bike Week (DeLand has some spillover events).

Well, that would be the second one that I have seen.

Bianchina!!! I do love me anything old, FIAT and 2-cylinder! These also came in wagon and ‘sedan’ form!

I posted a comment all about them the other day!

This is the first Bianchina that I have seen. To be honest, before last week, if someone said Bianchina, I would not have known what they were talking about.

On the other hand, I am somewhat familiar with Fiats. A long time ago, I owned a blue 1968 Fiat 850cc Spider that was purchased from money earned working as a caddie in high school . It was a fun vehicle - a little short on power, but great handling.

I’ve always wanted an 850 Coupe or sedan, but the roadsters were far FAR more common here. Don’t get me wrong, the roadsters are awesome too...but I sortof prefer cars were the roof can’t leak! :D
