Model: 1100

The Fiat 1100 model was born in 1936 to last until 1969, throughout this period it would undergo numerous updates to both mechanics and bodywork.
1962 is the 'year of presentation of the 1100 D, which is considered one of the most reliable Italian cars of the period, so much so that it was used by various state bodies as a car for institutional services throughout the 1960s.
In the fall of 1962 a further restyling, still retaining the bodywork of the "1200 Granluce," a now final choice, gave birth to the "1100 D." What changed were mainly the interior, the headliner, and the grille, which became flat and simplified without chrome, with rectangular front lights. In addition, all versions adopted "upwind" opening doors, already present on the Special, instead of butterfly doors.
