Italian automaker Autobianchi it was based on the Fiat 500. It was
available in various configurations: Berlina (saloon), Cabriolet
(roadster), Trasformabile (convertible), Panoramica (station
wagon), and Furgoncino (van). The car was presented to the public
on 16 September 1957 at the Museum of Science and Technology in
Milan. Initially, the car was equipped with the smallest Fiat
engine, air-cooled 479 cc producing 15 PS (11 kW). In 1959, the
engine power was increased to 17 PS (13 kW) and in 1960, the
cabriolet version was launched. In the same year, the
Trasformabile, whose engine cylinder capacity was increased to 499
cc (18 hp), was made available in a Special version with bicolor
paint and an engine enhanced to 21 PS (15 kW). Transformabile
featured fixed B-pillar and partial roof, as the rest of the
opening was covered with foldable fabric hood. Cabriolet version
had no B-pillar. Also this was the only version to feature suicide
doors. In 1962, the Trasformabile was replaced by a four-seat
saloon. The engine and chassis were the same as in the
Trasformabile. Have fun, make a statement wherever you go in this
