Guess this car - Dent's Orange Edition <<solved - Fiat Cinquecento >>
« on: January 30, 2007, 03:11:55 PM »
Since I keep ending up owning orange cars for some reason (three so far!) I though I'd post a guess that orange car. And no I don't own this one.

Is it based on a Pugeout 104?

Did I spell it right?

As far as I can tell, yes.

In a manner speaking I suppose it is. Not Pugeout based and 1974 is off by a couple of decades.

Is it from a formerly Eastern-block nation, built from old Fiat bits or Fiat-sourced tooling?

It is a Fiat Cinquecento (500) that someone have changed the rear end of the roof at. But who did the rebuild? Gianninni perhaps?

This is an original Cinquecento:

Yes! Not sure about the rear conversion but it certainly doesn't look homemade.
