The "Best Of" returns! It was a great pleasure to capture these cars, good, bad and absurd. Totally subjective as always.

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.

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.

Pininfarina #1: 1979 Fiat 124 Spider
This one is missing bits of trim + the rear rack and has a few dings but is still in working condition. Love the "power" bulges on the hood, decorative wreath around the "Fiat" badge, exposed bolts on the wood grain dash, interesting indicator needles in the dials.
A classic profile that probably sustained the model way past it's best years.
Next post: Pininfarina #2.
