Fiat 500:

The Fiat 500 is an economy / city car that was manufactured and marketed by Fiat Automobiles from 1957 until 1975. It was sold as a two-door semi-convertible or saloon car and as a three-door panel van or estate car.
Launched as the Nuova 500 in July 1957, as a successor to the 500 "Topolino", it was an inexpensive and practical small car. Measuring 2,970 mm long, originally powered by a rear-mounted 479 cc two-cylinder air-cooled engine, the 500 was 245 mm smaller than the Fiat's 600, launched two years earlier, and is considered one of the first purpose-designed city cars....(Read more on Wikipedia)
