Guest Casper Friedrich Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) What if the model name 509 was chosen because of the year (BC) when the last Etruscan king was thrown away and Rome became a republic?Remember that this car was introduced in 1925, the time of Benito Mussolini. It was already at that time thought of as a milestone. It was first Italian car sold by installements and the engine size was astonishingly just under 1 litre.

pepcak Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi,interesting theory, but I would rather expect that its in-line with other Fiats of 20s, rememeber there were types designation 501, 503, 508, 514, 519, 520, 521 etc.....My father has restored 509 recently.Josef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
