Product Description
Synopsis
This title includes a book and 4 CDs. This text is in English, Italian and German. The Cinquecento, one of the most popular cars of all time, has recently been re-launched as a new model which met with instant - and fully deserved - success. A touching journey through all the models of this classic car between 1957 and today, this book creates a link between the past and the present. The history of the Cinquecento is also part of Italian history, reflecting a dream millions of people shared over many years. This edition include 4 wonderful CDs with unforgettable summer and "beach" songs, contemporary pop and rock music and hits from great Italian films, in which the "little one" from the Fiat family so frequently plays a role. And last, but not least: Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", the ideal companion for a car that is considered a classic vehicle 'for all seasons'.

I was attracted to this book as I was looking to buy a classic 500 and wanted to know all the details of the various models, trim levels and detail changes throughout the car's 18 year production run. Just so that I could tell my 'F's from my 'D's and 'L's. This book certainly gives a very concise description of each. Other than that there's nothing too heavy, no detail of what to look for when viewing a potential purchase, but there are other books that clearly demonstrate this. Just a few pics and an element of the fun and practicality of the car. And to that end I can't say I'm disappointed. Much of the content is pictorial, many shots from brochures of the period with cars full of families and proving the back seats will take several suitcases, etc. The endurance test models that covered 100k km are well covered, and the recently launched model is also included. This book is a superbly presented item, clearly due to the German production, though there are some slight technicalities with the translation in that it sounds like it's been interpreted into US English, many 'u's have been dropped i.e. favor, color etc. and lines such as the car 'made' 105km/h instead of 'was capable of', etc. But as a work of art, as something to display on your coffee table for guests to casually glance at it's hard to beat. And while they read, they can listen to one of the four CDs supplied, they come attached to the inside of the front cover and many suit the character of the car very well. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is the only one audiences outside Italy will instantly recognise, unless you're a fan of the native films in which case the film score CD, some of which date back to the early years of the car, may interest you. The modern tracks on the other discs do not work for me quite so well, they have an element of 'Eurovision' about them, unless you're playing them from the luxury of your 'New' 500 Lounge's USB player......So overall, not one for the dyed-in-the-wool aficionados who've already own/repair/restored one, more for the general interest crowd who are attracted to the cute quirkiness of a classic Fiat 500, without the headaches and/or financial commitment of actually owning one.

I am just about to buy my first car. I didn't know what car that would be, until I saw the new Fiat 500, then I went all mushy with nostalgia, because I remember the original 5oo's and I loved them.
But because buying a car is a big deal, I wanted to ensure my decission wasnt just nostalgia led. So I found this great book on Amazon 5oo Love: The Fiat 500 story.
Its fantastic! Not only does it have a concise history about the evolution and production of the car,there are tons of great pictures and illustrations, and it comes with a 4 CD soundtrack too! 50's and 60's Italian pop music, that is sure to enhance the whole 5oo experience.
Well thanks to this book, my mind is firmly made up. Now where's my nearest Fiat dealer..?Norev - Fiat 500 white 2007500 Love: The Fiat 500 Story (Book & CD)
