Presented at the Milan Motor Show in 1935, the Fiat 1500 was an example of a modern car with aerodynamic bodywork. In addition to the 1493cc 6-cylinder engine, other points of interest were the independent front wheel suspension and the tubular chassis. Versions with open bodywork and numerous custom cars were also produced of this model. After the A and B series, the front line was modified with the 1940 C model. In total 42,500 exemplars of the Fiat 1500 were produced, from 1935 to 1948.
