15k: MicroWagon: 1967 Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica

 Autobianchi was an Italian automobile manufacturer created jointly by Bianchi Bicycles, Pirelli Tires and Fiat S.p.A.  The Bianchina was a Fiat 500 derived minicar that was built as a sedan, wagon, convertible and panel van from 1957 to 1970.  The Panoramica wagon version offers a surprising amount of interior space and comfort in a small package.  Find this 1967 Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica offered for $13,900 in LA Area, CA via craigslist.


The Bianchina uses a rear-engine rear-drive setup shared with the Fiat 500.  While the 500 looks like a bulbous early 1950s design, the Bianchina looks slightly more square and evokes an early 1960s design.



Under the hood rear seats is a 500 cc inline-2 cylinder engine good for 18 horsepower or an optional 21 horsepower in the "special" version.  Freeway speeds are approachable but not maintainable.
