Title: Another VW-powered Fiat Post by: Stephan S on June 21, 2008, 19:56:54 pm I'm lucky enough to live in an area where a Cruise Night takes places every Friday, during the spring/summer. It isn't huge, but rarely attracts less than 100 cars - hot rods, customs, classics, etc.
Not too many VWs on site; but a few cool models show up once in a while. A regular attendee is a yellow 1960 Fiat powered by an 1835cc engine. I've known the car for years (ran a picture of it in Super VW a dozen years ago). Dash features a Bug-In 16 plaque. Considering the car has been built a long time ago, I imagine it did participate in this particular Bug-In. Other pictures taken yesterday follow. I took a pic of the Double Cab as it was just leaving. Note Porsche flat six engine. Title: Re: Another VW-powered Fiat 600 Post by: Stephan S on June 21, 2008, 19:58:03 pm .

Title: Re: Another VW-powered Fiat Post by: Stephan S on June 21, 2008, 21:56:48 pm Funny you mention this... There were half a dozen of 'em at the cruise night as well. Almost as small as the Isetta often seen at the cruise night.

love the dashplaque, it gives us VW guys so much more to speculate about. ;) Title: Re: Another VW-powered Fiat Post by: Lids on June 22, 2008, 07:31:41 am isn't that fiat classified as a zinger?
Title: Re: Another VW-powered Fiat Post by: bullitt on June 22, 2008, 13:56:59 pm it isn't a fiat.
it is an autobianchi bianchina. built in desio, near milano, northern italy. mechanical parts were more or less the same of fiat 500, but the car was designed to be something smarter than the very popular fiat.
