Other Makes : Fiat 508 C, pick up

Up for the sales here stands an absolute rarity!

A 1939 build Fiat 508 C and also as a pick up truck .

This small cream little piece stielt every big truck the show.

As I haven't heard about another one. think you will not find another little pick up like this !

The vehicle comes from a spanish collection. for years was dry and had stood safe. An older restoration has taken place according to widow of the previous owner. I found this little piece. as a friend of mine tells me the collection is for sale.

The condition of this small piece of jewellery is accordingly good.

Colour green. with black fenders. 2 single seats. black imitation leather (a smal rip in co driver seat)

Engine 4 cylinder. 4 stroke. 1. 00 cc. 34 HP

4-speed transmission. floorshifter

Even then with 4 hydraulic drum brakes.

12 V of electrical system

Tyres as good as new Michelin 15 " 155 / R 400 radial (incl. spare tyre)

Car Dimension: 3. 5 x 1. 8 x 1. 0 meter. weight 750 kg blank. 1. 50 kg

Basic Law.

After I buy the car I do the following things the truck bed is made by new wood and oiled also now (see pic 22)

the brakes were completely overtaken (drums drilled. shoes recovered. new master- and wheelcylinder) because of the long state time (see pic 20). - as the factity who do this brake-job tells me. the Fiat had the first and original brake shoes before.

also the electric-system was tested. some lines replaced

cylinder head is planed and valves grounded new (in case of long standing still - see pic 21)

carburator overhauld

all fluids changed.

etc. etc. etc.

A data sheet for the H licensing was provided.

Car starts. runs. shifts and brakes good - makes lot's of fun driving and sounds amacing for such a smal motor !

A cream little piece in every collection - eyecatcher in every showroom - thumbs high and applause of the spectators on every exit.

Ideally. hence. also for advertising purposes. photo appointments. etc.

Some more I find out about the history:

A Swiss collector and Topolino-part trader (I contacted because of the situation to the spare part procurement) confirmed to me that Fiat delivered vehicles to special rebuilding companies.

This

pick up was built in small series but probably from "Viotti" on behalf of Fiat. There were also platforms for Fiat. on the brief military chassis.

Today our ice-cream parlour has opened and I have questioned the Italian owner (member in an Italian vintage car club) about Fiat and he confirmed the information and knew a 500 th a carpenter earlier had.

He knows only about a handful of preserved 500 th copies panell trucks. firmly in well-chosen collector's hand. Never seen a pick up again. he called the condition of my green pickup truck unusual.

However. primarily pannel trucks were also built some pickup truck for small craftsmen and traders.

However. base was primarily the little one 500 cc Topolino. but also – by far less - some "bigger" in 1100 cc.

However. already during the 2 nd world war most cars were worn out of it and destroyed. I found out in history. Fiat build some military vehicles also. but on short wheel base

I hope. this news helps something.

A not payable back deposit of $ 1. 000. - is to be made within 2 days by Pay Pal. rest within 2 weeks by bank credit transfer. That's a private auction without any garantie.

Car comes with a "bill of sale". and a certificate stamped by a spanish notary.

I sell this car. because I enjoy more the US vintage cars like Edsel & Studebaker -

so take your chance to give this nice toy a new. good home !

But remember. it's a real rare smal and nice car and not to give away ! So do not embarrass this rare car with any cheap offer or ask for the reserve.

Trade to an interresting US car will be possible. make an offer .

I can help in arrange with of the safe transport. because I have good contacts for sea cargo as normal I buy sometimes nice old cars in the USA and ship them to Germany.

In case of any seriose questions please feel free to contact me. also a lot of more pictures are available.

private auction. without any warranty. etc. (remember. it's an old car)
