TURIN, Italy - The 500 Vintage '57, the new special series which is a homage to the 1957 Italian icon, has been introduced to the media at the historical Centro Storico Fiat in via Chiabrera 20 on Monday (March 30).
Fiat has picked the Centro Storico to reveal the new 500 Vintage '57 to the international news media because, the company says, the location is perfect because the historical building has housed a permanent exhibition of all aspects of Fiat's history since 1963.
Several exhibits are dedicated to the iconic 500, like the 1950s Mirafiori assembly line and the office of Dante Giacosa, the engineer who created the Nuova 500 in 1957.
