1972 Fiat 500L
The engine cover in the last picture is not warped, that's lens distortion I could not get rid of.
You might notice an interesting car in the background of the second picture. More on that in the next post.

1962 Ford Galaxie 500
Hardtops have a peculiar appeal. That long unsupported section of roof and the empty space beneath it says "look at me and how powerful I am".
When I saw that "ornament" on the grille I thought it had just been added in an attempt to be ironic. After only a little research, it appears original.
I'm guessing this car used to be painted red or white. At least when the matte fad is over it can be restored. I love the scratched steering wheel, and the way the transmission lever and shaft are left (dangerously?) exposed next to the steering column, the way the front wheel arch rises just a bit too close to the arrow straight trim, and is embraced by the side sculpting which flows back from the outside headlight.

1974 Fiat 500
From the absurdly large to the absurdly small. I suspect someone might actually drive this car -- the tags are up to date. However, the dirt on the tires suggest otherwise.
Love how the wheels are so small that the (four!) bolts are near the rim. Plus the ridiculous clam shell of a hood, the way the window corners are so rounded, the enormous looking vents on the trunk, and the pope's nose licence plate light. The over-all shape is so rounded and somehow misshapen as to seem made from play-doh. This is basic "car-ness", what a small child might draw, and anyone seeing the drawing would recognize.
For it's time, this car was very practical. Unfortunately, it's time was the 50s and early 60s.
