That certain difference - Lincoln Premiere versus Fiat Nuova 500 55 years ago
While the Americans have always loved lavish dimensions, for the Italians the spice was in the brevity. The Fiat Nuova 500is practically as long as the passenger compartment of the Lincoln Premiere without overhangs.
But lo and behold, four people can sit more or less comfortably in both cars. The only difference: in the Fiat only with a toothbrush in the luggage, whereas in the Lincoln with the entire house furnishings.
If you're planning an outing with men, the trunk of the American car has room for a deck of cards, even in the rain!
But the Fiat also has its practical advantages. Because if a parking space is needed quickly, the small Italian can easily find space between two other cars, where the American has to look out for a minimum of two parking spaces.
