1956

The Fiat 600 was introduced in 1956 and was an immediate success. The model shown here is the first one, easily identified by the front opening doors and the direction indicators on the top of the front wings

The car remained in production from 1956 to 1970. Seemingly indestructible, these cars are still seen in daily use on the roads today.

Hillman Minx Phase 8 (1955) & 8a (1956)

This new two-tone colour scheme was referred to as the 'Gay Look'. The chrome strip running the entire length of the car differentiates it from the Phase 8. The brochure describes it thus: 'New side moulding in chrome and bolder number plate plinth for extra smartness!' The Convertible and Californian retained their Phase 8 looks.
