The Telegraph's Best Cars Ever | 3 - Fiat Cinquecento Nuova

"Like Corradino D’Ascanio’s Vespa scooter, Dante Giacosa’s 500 or Cinquecento Nuova was a vehicle credited with getting post-Second World War Italy back on the road - though the 1948 Piaggio Ape probably had more to do with it. The Nuova 500 was first presented to the Italian premier on July 4, 1957; Britain had its Mini, Germany its Beetle, France its 2CV and the Cinquecento was Italy’s “People’s Car”."
