Fiat Taxi car


Fiat Taxi car, originally uploaded by Jarod Carruthers.

There was a film shoot on and they had this gorgeous Fiat with a bride in it.
If memory serves me correctly, Fiat used the body of Fiat 1800/2100 to create a new less expensive model, the Fiat 1500L introduced in 1963. To distinguish it from the 1300/1500 its name used the designation 1500L (lunga = long). The car shared with its more compact sibling Fiat's four cylinder 1481 cc engine, delivering 72 bhp, which in 1964 was increased in the second series to 75 bhp. A reduced performance version was also offered for the taxi trade. This proved popular in southern Europe, equipped with a straight-4 1481 cc petrol engine developing just 60 bhp: the low power engine permitted the transport of customers in comfort and space at urban speeds, without consuming too much fuel.
