I have a picture of me next to a vintage one that belonged to my aunt in Italy when I was 9. I was taller than the car at age 9!! I used to call it a toy. lol

@85ZingoGTR I had one many years ago with the engine located where the trunk is in other cars; storage was under the hood. When I went to Italy I saw they drove cars even smaller than my model. This new Fiat seems taller and has more interior space. But I can imagine what your photo looks like from your description.

Does this one have an oil filter

@HarleyBob1123

Many successful and popular engine designs (VW, FIAT) did not use any oil filters until the1970’s. For sure the Fiat 500 is equiped with an oil filter.

I was there on the second day of the auto show, and I got in that very car! I love it, it's ample up front (this coming from a 5-foot-10 person) and I really liked the back (though I didn't know how to get out at first)
