The “Nuova 500” was produced by Fiat from 1957 to 1975. It is a real icon on four wheels and one of the symbols of “made in Italy”. Its unique and recognizable design is famous all over the World. When the small car was set up by the Italian car manufacturer, its goal was simple: to introduce on the market at a very affordable price a new compact car able to enlarge the number of potential customers. In addition to the classic Fiat 500, that obtained an impressive commercial success all over the World, the Italian car manufacturer Abarth produced several special versions characterized by unmistakable sporting and racing attitude. In 1964 Abarth, originally founded as racing team, presented two interesting versions developed on the Fiat Nuova 500 chassis and body : the 695 and the 695 SS. Both versions were equipped with a 689 cm3 engine and were able to reach the max speed of 140 Km/h. In 1965 Abarth developed the Fiat 695 SS Assetto Corsa with improved performances and features.

Brand

Italeri

Italeri was founded in the early 60's, with that enthusiasm that only the unbridled passion of youth can create. Since they were boys, the two founders of Italeri, Giuliano Malservisi and  Gian Pietro Parmeggiani loved airplanes and military vehicles. Soon they were no longer satisfied with the models available at the time: they wanted something more and better. What they wanted was not available, so they decided to produce it themselves. Their hobby turned into an accurate research, and became the motivating force to produce the models that modelers want, with no imperfections whatsoever. Thus the company asserted itself, always increasing his range of products and growing. Also thanks to the imagination and the talent of the founders and of their colleagues, Italeri in time became a leader in modelling, finding its place on the international market. The first scale model launched on the market was the 1:72 scale Italian fighter Fiat G-55 with the brand “Airplast”. After that the company brand changed in Italeri and the new logo, characterised by red and green stripes remembering the Italian national flag (to identify the “Made in Italy” of Italeri production), was born. During its long activity the company bought the “Supermodel”, “Protar” and “ESCI” moulds to further improve its wide scale model catalogue.
