Today's feature is described by the seller as a 1949
Fiat 500 Giardiniera Belvedere. This is unfortunate because the Belvedere name did not appear on the Fiat 500 Topolino station wagon until the 1952 model year and Giardiniera is an Italian relish appetizer made from carrots, cauliflower, celery and peppers that have been pickled in vinegar and/or oil. It is tasty stuff and just thinking about it is making my mouth water, but it isn't a wood covered Fiat. This is a
1949 Fiat 500 Topolino Giardinetta
for sale in Portland, OR currently bidding for $5,625 reserve-not-met with 5 days to go.
The name Topolino means little mouse in Italian and is actually what they call Mickey Mouse in Italy. The Topolino was named because the early versions have head lights that sprouted from the fenders like Mickey Mouse ears. And this next one has an awesome set of whisker-headers to complete the mouse look. Find this 1948 Fiat Topolino offered for $15,000 in Miami, FL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
