The Fiat 508C Balbo Balilla one-off

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat 508C Balilla Balbo: The Fiat 508 C was first introduced in 1937, powered by a 1,089 cc 4-cylinder engine that replaced the previous 1-liter engine of the Balilla. The design of the original Balilla had been developed by several famous motoring personalities of those years-Tranquillo Zerbi, Antonio Fessia, Bartolomeo Nebbia, and Dante Giacosa-who designed a car with level performance but relatively low cost. The last evolution of this successful model was the Fiat 508C, which Fiat initially tried to nickname Nuova Balilla 1100 (on billboards of the time) but which motorists only and always called “1100.” It remained in production until 1939, cost LIT 19,500 and was produced in 57,000 units. This Fiat 508C Balbo Balilla, chassis 508C219378, has a special body specially made by Balbo of Turin in 1950. The vehicle previously appeared as a box truck.
