Supposedly only 100 of these Nuova America were brought into the country. The main difference between the early version and later version is the fabric roof folding all the way back to the rear of the vehicle, rather than the later roof design, which only folds half way back along the roof. The Nuova 500 also features "suicide doors". Other differences are the high pop-out headlights (called the "Frog headlights") and larger reinforced bumpers (adaptations designed to conform to American safety requirements), and make these variants more desirable with their unique appearance. A great opportunity to own a very rare 1958 Fiat Nuova 500 America Convertible to enjoy the "Dolce Vita" Italian style and spirit. This Nuova will turn many heads and starts many conversations where ever you decide to go...
