This 1951 Fiat 500 Giardineria Wagon is presented in dark green with wood-side paneling. This model was a low production automobile and the wood-side paneling is a rare factory option that very few cars received. The exterior of the car features dual windshield wipers, black vinyl roof and rear hinged “suicide” opening doors. The car rides on whitewall tires mounted on light yellow steel wheels with factory hubcaps. The car is powered by a traditional front-mounted four-cylinder engine which is paired to a manual transmission. The interior is furnished in brown with wood accents and exterior colors being shown throughout. It features front bucket seats and a rear bench seat.
The rear wagon floor is completed with wood slats. This 1951 Fiat 500 Giardineria has an excellent period appearance and with a small stature, is much different from the normal sized cars of the period. As a rare Italian “Woodie” this is a true classic.
