Cops usually ignore old cars unless your being drunk or stupid. I’ve test driven 3 of my classics without plates or insurance and never been pulled over.

My dad used to tell a story of driving his VW beetle home from college and getting pulled over in a little Iowa town for going 72 MPH when the top speed of his beetle was only 68. He mentioned the top speed to the cop and ended up going to court right away after explaining he was just passing through town on his way home. He gets in front of the judge who tells him the fine for speeding was $9.00. He only had $7.00 in his wallet at the time so he told the judge he didn't have enough to pay the fine. The judge then asked how much he had. Knowing he would need a little money for gas to get home to Chicago so he told the judge he had $4.00. In response the judge picked up his gavel, struck it on his bench and said fine for speeding $4.00. My dad made it home on his remaining $3.00 then a few months later received a letter from his insurance company showing he had zero driving infractions on his driving record which led him to believe the cop and the judge were working together and keeping the money from the speeding fines they were giving out in that town.

In 1965 , Fiat lanched the 500F serie.replaced the D series. This L ( luxe) . Always did have this big speedometer. 😊

My uncle bought one in 1958. He drove our family from Milazzo to Palermo (about 5 hours, one way), and back. We had 2 adults and 1 child in the back seat. Then, 2 adults and 1 child in the front. I was the child in the front. I sat between my uncle, who was driving, and the left door. One leg and one butt cheek on the seat. Another time, my uncle drove me home from Messina in heavy fog. Couldn't see the hood of the Fiat while I was standing on the floor, in front of the passenger seat. I was scared to death. Another time, I was sitting in the car while my uncle was standing outside, talking with some friends. As usual, he parked with the car in 1st gear (not that I knew anything about that, then). Anyway, I always saw how he manipulated those 2 little levers between the seats, to start the car. I was a curious child and decided to play with the levers. Being in gear, the car lurched forward. My uncle almost panicked as he dove onto the hood, trying to stop the car. His shocked face was staring right at me from the other side of the windshield. I got scolded but it was fun.

I lived in Naples, Italy 1963-64, when I was 7 - 8 years old. Fiat 500s were everywhere. On Sunday evenings as families streamed back into the city from their weekends in the country, drivers would cram 7 lanes of Fiat 500s on the boulevard in front of our apartment that was striped for 3 lanes. An Italian family with which we were close (father, mother, 7 year old girl, 5 year old boy) had a Fiat 500. They lived at the top of a hill. The car could not get up the hill with all four of them aboard, so the mother and children would need to get out and walk the last couple of blocks up the hill while the father drove the car up. But given the narrow streets, cramped city, expensive gasoline, and generally poor economics in post-WWII Italy, the Fiat 500 was the right car for the time and place, and got Italians moving in the middle of the 20th century.

My Italian import in 1965 WAS pulled over by a cop.... on my way to San Diego from the LA area. It was a Vespa GS motor scooter, and the cop felt that it could not legally be on the freeway. The California law of that time for motorcycles required the ability to exceed 62 mph. I told the cop I had been doing as much as 65, still the speed limit on that particular segment of freeway. He told me to show him and so I did, though I did have to bend down close to the handlebars to reach that speed. He waved to me OK as he passed me, so for me as well, no ticket, though if I had the money I have today I might have framed it as proof to my motorcycling brother who also scorned the top speed of that practical, puddle jumping commuting machine.

My first car was an old hand-me-down badly maintained Audi Fox that my grandmother had purchased new in 1974, and handed down to my parents to give to the first kid to get their driver's license. I got mine before my sister, so it became mine. By the time I got it, the dash was falling off, the power steering and power brakes didn't work, one of the cylinders had massive blow-by and one spark plug didn't work. (Different cylinder.) It truly had problems reaching 55 MPH. I once got pulled over for speeding - doing 60 in a 50 zone. The officer told me how fast I had been going, I honestly went "really? I didn't know it could go that fast!" He laughed, saw and heard the engine obviously struggling even at idle, and let me go with a warning. (I must have been going slightly downhill.)

Years ago I was on a highway and one of these fired up and flew by me. Turns out someone had taken a 100 horsepower outboard boat motor and modded it into the back end. It flew by me.

Vi seguo qui dall'Italia e siete simpaticissimi! In Italia la Fiat ha fatto quelle che un tempo potevano essere definite le "auto del popolo" nel senso che se le poteva permettere chiunque, una 500 doveva girare nelle strade strette e trafficate, in America ci credo che non ha avuto così tanto successo ai tempi, si dice che alcune città in Italia siano a "misura d'uomo", beh in America si può dire che avete invece delle strade a "misura d'uomo". In un contesto del genere ci credo che risulti bizzarro 😂❤ good job Bro, i love it

The FIAT Nuovo had a 22 liter fueltank. That equals 5.8 gallons. It was suggested to use 5.6 liers per 100km, so you could go nearly 400km - around 240 miles - with it.

Several years ago, more than I care to admit, a friend of mine rolled his land rover, you know, the one with the fold down windshield. A few days later he got pulled over and the cop issued him with a ticket for the windshield wipers not working. My friend objected because the windshield was smashed but the cop insisted that the wipers had to be working. A trip to the MVA and sure enough the regulations at that time stated: A vehicle may have a windshield. And a little further down the regulations stated: A vehicle must have working wipers.

These engines, also found in other cars, had approximately 26 horsepower with minor modifications. Major modifications bring this engine to the 40 horsepower mark. But if you decide to go too far with everything, including switching to sports fuel, you can squeeze 70 horsepower from this poor construction, of course with a short life, for motorsport. The biggest problem of these engines is the low rpm limit and narrow channels, so it is difficult to talk about horsepower as this engine has a lower limit than current diesels and the higher you want to rev it, the more power it loses because there is nowhere for it all to flow.

Nice! I have had 2 classic 500. One in the same color, coral red. A 1974, 500 R. I worked the motor and suspension and got about 28 hp out of it. Doing 75 mph top speed. Running into the red at rpm. I got thumbs up everywhere. It even sounded great accelerating. Considering 10 grand if you want a nice one now and much more if it is a Abarth or Steyr Puch.

re. cars like the 500e being too small for Americans: as a fellow American I know what you mean, but I think Americans have lost all perspective on what a reasonable vehicle size is-and forgotten (or never known) the advantages of staying small. I live in Southern CA and used to drive an '04 Mini Cooper. There were many times when going to some event or visiting a friend in a parking-constrained neighborhood, in which I was able to squeeze into a spot that was just too small for anything else (save motorcycles). Yet it was a blast to drive and with the rear seats folded down, had a shocking amount of cargo space. For a single person or childless couple in an urban environment, a tiny hatchback is ideal.

130kmh is barely 80

I know the Fiat 500e is expensive, but it's about the same as the Mini Cooper SE and this has far, far more range in the Fiat 500e; if you use the range mode (their sort of balanced, one pedal driving mode), the range is ~210 miles and unlike the electric Mini, that doesn't cut your climate control. Even the most economical mode, which is beyond range mode, doesn't totally kill your climate control, and it _still_ gives you more range. So to me, this is better than the Mini Cooper SE. It costs more than the Leaf, but this also comes fully loaded with physical buttons and has CCS plugs, which the Leaf does not.

4:14 that's the windshield wiper fluid button. It's just pumps air into the reservoir when you press it (no electrical switch and pump). Quite cheap and simple, but after the years the rubber gets brittle and cracks, not working anymore. Our family car was a 1972 Fiat 600R (slightly bigger 500 brother) and it had the same speedometer, ashtray, switches (only 2: lights and wipers; no hazzards) The ignition switch was on the column, and at the center of the dashboard was a cigarette lighter instead. There was only one lever by the handbrake and was the choke. The heater lever was on the "transmission" tunnel behind the driver seat.

1972 Fiat 500L, top speed is 59mph. You broke the record.

I learn to drive in the Argentinian version of the 500, here we knew it as the Fiat 600 (fitito), and the latest versión had an 800 cc engine, however they really struggled to go much more than 100 km/h, one curious thing was that the spare tire was store in the front, that trend was implemented in a lot of other fiat models since up to early 2000. The 600 was a very successful car because it was cheap, easy to fix, and could transport 4 people, and its biggest rival was the Citroën 3cv. However, the fiat was more popular. In fact, it was produced in Argentina, the sold close to 400000 units

I would be willing to bet, those fins sticking out are there for the same reason the headlight housing on the Nissan Leaf sticks up over the hood. To change the wind directin and cut down noise. On the Leaf with headlights that didn't stick up there was a high picthed wind noise.

The popular car in Italy at the time was FIAT 600, not the Cinquecento. The 600, launched before the Cinquecento, was somewhat larger, just enough to make it actually usable. There was luggage space behind the rear bench, and a little more rear legroom. What's the new BEV 500 good for? Well, it's adequate for short drives around Beverly Hills.

Growing up in Italy the 500 were fun to drive in. Also they were light enough for 3 guys to pick them up and hide them in a different spot from were the owners parked them😆...next time try driving it on a road with some twisties it'll be more fun

The old Fiat 500 may be the perfect car for the brazen law breakers! Great video!

And now you see how things where before technology took over. You really had to work and plan your driving. Hill coming up, accelerate because you knew you'll loose speed. Avoid stopping, just keep driving forward to maintain momentum. Fun driving.

Good review, but I would have LOVED to see Roman, Andre and Nathan drive this thing around....with your St. Bernard. Now THAT would have been a test!

I tuned a 650cc 126 engine and fitted it to our 1967 500, it did 85mph, I had a few grandprix`s .

I'm amazed to find a young person that can drive a crash-box transmission.

One of the reasons to avoid the higher ethanol fuels in older cars is that the condensation from the alcohol can cause the rubber hoses/components to perish... or so I'm told. The curb weight is seriously impressive, heck its even lighter than a 2cv. The Morris 1000 is light enough for 1 person to push along... on the flat... and that weighs over 1600lbs.

Very fun video! The elite performance of this vehicle is unmatched 0-60 time infinity! 🤣 Those tires need replacing though fellas. I know that the 17hp of that 500 is just sending you into the next dimension but in all seriousness id hate to see ya have a big problem in the tires while driving.

I think that it could hit 60 with a small person driving - in half that time.

"heres my starter key" never seen the video but definitely seen and heard that exact line from my grandpa and uncle lmaoooo

Fun video. Now you need to race the 500 against the model T

I recognized those mountains immediately😅.. Looks like near Longmont, Loveland area lol

Great designs. AWD is needed for the new e500, a must for Colorado and other snowy climates. The MSRP with no AWD, is a no purchase.

Imagine buying a car and the dealer being like "sorry but a steering wheel is for the luxury package"

Hey in my country we learned to drive and took our DL test in Fiat 500s.

Its criminal that no one makes cars like these anymore 😔

Love it, love it, love it! Too much fun, just what I need at 5am. Tommy and Kase are crushing it!!!

Load it on the rear of a CyberTruck 😂 Can be your “emergency rescue boat” if you run out of charge 😂
