The Francis Lombardi My Car was developed between 1968 and 1971 and was a huge success. The My Car has unique equipment as standard compared to other models such as the instrument panel. steering wheel. dashboard. front grill. extra chrome parts and a more sporty looking roof.
This model of the 500 will always be on the rise especially after 2018 when it will be 50 years since they launched the "Francis Lombardi My Car" edition.
HISTORYFounded in 1947. they focussed exclusively on automobiles after 1950. Their first efforts were coupés on Fiat 1100 and 1400 basis; these were soon followed by station wagons with wood-panelled bodywork on 1100-basis. Francis Lombardi also made six-seater limousines from Fiat sedans of the period such as the 1400 and 1800. Intended for ministerial or representational use. they had stretched wheelbases and luxuriously fitted interiors. Famously. they built a Vatican-commissioned Fiat 2300-based limousine with a glass roof forPope Paul VI in 1963 - this was the first "true" Popemobile.
Francis Lombardi also developed four-door versions of the Fiat 600. nbsp;850. and 127.  This series of small four-door saloons was called "Lucciola" by Lombardi. The first one was the 600 Lucciola which appeared in early 1957; in addition to four doors without a B-pillar (the rear door opening backwards) it also had a floor mounted shifter unlike a regular 600.  Francis Lombardi's greatest commercial success was with the luxuriously appointed Fiat 500 called "My Car"; which supported an annual production of about 6. 00 cars in the sixties. up from about 1. 00 towards the late fifties. The Fiat 850 Lucciola was also used by Spain's SEAT for their 850 four-door sedan. although eventually they developed their own. longer version.
At the end of the sixties. the Lombardi Grand Prix appeared. the closest thing to an independent design from the firm. This model had a convoluted history and was sold in small numbers under a variety of names until 1972. fitted with Fiat engines in various states of tune. Francis Lombardi continued to focus on modifying cars as well. building coupés on Fiat as well as on NSU basis (1000 TTS).  In the 1970s they made special versions of the Fiat 128 and Lancia 2000. but in 1973 their doors were closed for good. Ten years later. Carlo Lombardi died.
