Hello my dear friends, i just found this beauty, it's 1957 with a VIN # 1555176, very good condition, almost no rust, just the engine seems newer, but i like a lot a mirror on the fender and i haven't seen them before, any comments regarding the mirror?
I found this car in Finland, can't wait till i get it back home...
Greetings from Vilnius

Nice find!
I posted something a day ago about the windshield washer nozzle that was activated by the button you have on the dash. I see the reservoir in the image under the front hood, do you see a motor?
I would like to know more about this system if you have time.

The plan is simple at the moment, collect missing parts as semaphores and maybe something else, make the engine run, little bit lower the suspension, enjoy the ride and park it in my garage next to other cars )) this one will be a keeper, as i had some years ago an oval, later sold and was always missing...

That’s awesome! Exactly why I purchased one as well. I bet many are in the same boat. Have fun and enjoy the ride! _________________ Jimbo

Make sure you toss that Fiat in the back seat before you go. |
