Fiat 500 My Car Trasformabile
The 500 My Car was a version of the small utility car developed by the Vercelli coachbuilder Francis Lombardi between 1968 and 1971.
Vehicle Overview
It was not the only the nuova 500 that Francis Lombardi modified, but it was the only one to have a good commercial success. It was produced in two versions: with hard top or with sunroof (“trasformabile”). The incomplete cars arrived at the Vercelli body shop from Fiat, to be completed with the appropriate Francis Lombardi parts: it was a widespread policy, in fact Abarth had already been using it for some years for the assembly of its own elaborate 500s. The 500 My Car boasted eye-catching features, some of which were never adopted by the following two production models: shaped dashboard covered in black plastic, wooden steering wheel and gear knob, rear windows that opened, stainless steel sill panels, rounded grille with chromed zamak grille, steel wheel rings. The most innovative element of this car is the shape of the roof which, with two transverse ribs and a small spoiler, conferred an image of sportiness and refinement and in the meantime improved its habitability. The coveted option of metallic paint was also provided. Despite the higher cost compared to the original Fiat model, a few thousand speciments were produced, constituting an exception compared to the other special versions produced by various coachbuilders. The reasons for the good commercial success, in addition to the possibility of standing out, consisted in delivery times, much lower than those required for the Fiat 500 F and in the better habitability allowed by the particular shape of the roof.
