Looking to buy Fiat 500 1957 Standard

**Icedcorn** · 11-10-2019, 10:38 AM

Hi, I can't fine a Fiat 500 Manual Transmission 1957 edition anywhere local to me (New England). Even if there's one remote for shipping, I don't think you can get them anymore.

Prove me wrong dealers that search the forum

You might be able to find a low milage used one. A manual transmission, might be really rare.

Tried the usual suspects - Carvana, Cars, autotrader, etc. I'll be luck if a Fiat dealership folded into another brand and it's still on a dealer lot..it happens

Heres a couple with a automatic. Like I said a manual going to be very rare.

Good find, smark. I wouldn't have thought to look under Lounge.

Autotrader.com has more than a dozen listed, but most of them are new. As he said, 5 speed is rare and may not have been made for the last 2 years.

You can buy the Retro rims from FIAT new and install on another car.

The interior is white and impractical.

From the used white interiors I've seen (on used cars), they detailed out about as well as the black steering wheel. The only white wear point is the front of the steering wheel.

Unfortunately, the wheels are $2000, and those say they won't fit the Turbo. My dealer said he could get a set for nearly double that price that would fit the '18.

Those ivory interiors, look fantastic when new. You need to wear white glove, to keep the steering wheel clean. The retros, also have a beautiful saddle leather interior. Only the lounge retro’s come in that baby blue, mint green, and off white. I think the roofs are painted white too. They are the lounge model. Completely loaded. 500 madness carries the alloy wheels. I remember seeing them, on their showroom floor. Very expensive. No price..... you would then need them powder coat to color match the body color.

They are $350 each.
The Retro is essentially the Lounge Turbo. Why wouldn't they fit?

Yes $350 to 375. Then hubcaps, $119 to $183 each. The problem still is, Rock Auto has only 3 wheels, and they are black, with the caps in white, blue or green.

The good news is they don't seem to be charging a core fee to buy wheels. I don't know if Fiat has stopped charging it or if they'll tack it on after the order is placed.
