At just a hair over 50 inches wide, this 1954 Fiat 500C Topolino could prove challenging for some drivers to fit in comfortably.  However, if size isn’t a problem, this one sure looks like a good candidate for those seeking a vintage Italian car that’s sure to turn heads wherever it goes.  The seller says his price of $17,995 is the final drop, but with the excellent condition we’re seeing here, it may be well worth that amount to the right buyer.  This one’s in Ayer, Massachusetts, and can be spotted here on Facebook Marketplace, so head on up to The Bay State if you’re ready to make the deal.  Zappenduster, thanks for your tip here!

The Fiat is short in length as well, measuring in at just 127.8 inches front to back, but there’s plenty of great styling to be found throughout the small area.  A retractable soft top helps add to the fun factor here, plus it’s good to see that this one’s still wearing a set of Fiat wheels and hubcaps.  The seller tells us the car has been wonderfully restored, and while no details of what it was like before are provided, the workmanship seems to have been performed to high-quality standards.  The body appears straight with a good panel fit, and the green finish looks uniform and shiny all the way around.  The trim pieces also look satisfactory at a minimum.

Entering is made by a set of doors hinged at the rear, so that might make it easier for some folks to get in and out, but once inside it still seems like some fairly cramped quarters.  The bucket seats don’t have much mass and the steering wheel placement is ever so slightly to the right of center where the driver would be sitting, but there’s nothing inside to complain about as far as condition goes.  The metal parts are painted the same green as the outside, and I’m really keen on that minimalist dash layout.

The seller says the 569cc engine is only providing 16 HP, but he also claims it’s still a blast to drive around town, despite the limited power.  We only get to view this one photo which shows some of the undercarriage, but the owner describes the condition of the frame and platform as superb, so this one seems to remain a very solid example.

While I find the lines attractive and the fun factor high, this one may be a bit too small for my stature for much long-distance driving.  However, for those who can fit inside better, it seems like a cool little cruiser that’s nearly show-ready without much additional attention.  Some positive news is that this Italian beauty won’t occupy an excessive amount of room in your garage!  Is this 1954 Fiat 500C Topolino one you’d be interested in adding to your collection?
