FIAT - Manuale originale Iconica FIAT Topolino mod. 500 - 1937

Rarest original operation and maintenance manual for FIAT Model 500 "Topolino", dating from 1937 (4th Edition). Since it is one of the first editions printed close to the car’s launch (released in 1936), this booklet represents a true collectible rarity: most pre-war manuals were destroyed or lost over time, and the editions currently on the market almost all date from the post-war period (from 1945 onward).

Undisputed symbol of Italian genius and style, the FIAT 500 "Topolino" is the legendary car that revolutionized mobility in a country, becoming an icon of world automotive collecting.
