We hope you have enjoyed the above vintage pictures and advertisements from the golden age of the 500. The very "texture" of these pictures vividly shows the great love Europe had for the 500. One of my favorites is the advertisement illustrating a proud family next to their Fiat. In our time of XXL family transportation it makes us realizes how differently the world views the idea of a family car. If you want to learn more about the history of the Fiat 500 please take a glimpse at the site of fellow blogger http://www.500blog.blogspot.com/. It is wonderfully organized and provides extremely interesting information on everything Fiat 500. If you want to see a Fiat 500 for yourself without traveling to Europe you may want to head to Gould's annual Microcar and Minicar Classic on July 13, 14, 15 in Newton Ma, http://www.bubbledrome.com/ (617) 965-1333. A good time is had by all as every visitor gets to get up close and personal with the micro cars. Kids are welcome to join in this wonderful experience as the Gould’s go out of their way to make all feel at home. )
