Fiat Topolino 1938

On the weekend I went to a vintage car rally here
in New Plymouth.
I fell in love with this Fiat Topolino, immediately. It doesn't have a flat surface anywhere, every panel is perfectly curved. It was modern and still looks modern.

Topolino means something like little mouse.

The black 8 cylinder Buick behind it is strong too in a gangsterish way.


The engine is 500cc. The solid looking wheels especially appeal to me.

The rear window opens. No bumpers but a strong line that runs along the top of the doors and down to where a bumper could be, giving a feeling of strength and solidity.
