Golden Fiat 500 at Nostalgic 2 Days
Nostalgic 2 Days, held 17-18 Feb 2024 at Pacifico Yokohama, is a major motor show starring old and out-of-print cars. Nationally renowned special shops, parts manufacturers, and restoration specialists exhibited their products and sold limited edition goods along with vehicle displays. This time we present a 1970 Fiat 500, which was stylishly coordinated in gold and blue.
Three categories were proposed by MUSEO DELLA CINQUECENTO in Japan
The Nagoya-based MUSEO DELLA CINQUECENTO exhibits valuable Fiat Nuova 500s (Cinquecento) as a private museum, while also handling the sale of solidly finished vehicles in Japan and abroad.
There are three categories of vehicles for sale to meet the different lifestyles and aspirations of owners with different tastes and preferences, attracting many users. The company has earned a high reputation.
The three categories are the premium Bespoke, which is built with the owner’s individuality, sensitivity, and commitment; the Fiat 500ev, an electric car with a classic car feel and smooth running; and the Stradale, a museum-produced vehicle for sale that can be treated like a precious pet. The ‘Stradale’. Whichever you choose, you can welcome the Fiat Nuova 500 like family.
The ‘Gold Madonna’, produced by Jun Nishikawa
The ‘Gold Madonna’ bespoke car presented at Nostalgic 2 Days this time is a Fiat Nuova 500 based on a 1970 model and finished by renowned motor journalist Jun Nishikawa with his sensibility.
Mr. Ito, the representative of the MUSEO DELLA CINQUECENTO, said that the Gold Madonna, which Mr. Nishikawa finished with his unique flair, was a model of a Bespoke car, so he gave it to him and has displayed it at various events as an example of Bespoke work.
They plan to develop more resto-mods in the future
Also, although the Gold Madonna proposal is aesthetic, they will be working on resto-mods (not just restoring but modifying with modern technology and flair), and they want to develop the Abarth 595 and 695 tribute.
“The car will be based on the Fiat Nuova 500 and will be faithful to the original inside and out the 595 will use a kit from Classique, while the body of the 695 will be molded from a car in our museum and built from sheet metal in a carrozzeria in Turin. For the engine, we want to digitalize the control system and so on, so that it is perceived as something different and not just a replica of a 595 or 695. If all goes well, we are thinking of proposing an 850/1000 TCR. The idea is to do a variety of things that could potentially be achieved with the Cinquecento. That’s the menu, like Bespoke and Restomod.”
Says Mr. Ito of the Cinquecento Museum.
