Brent, I owed a Fiat 500 in about 1963, I think it was a 1959. Had something like 18 hp. We lived at the bottom of a valley and the thing didn't have enough power to just drive up the hill to get out, so I had to start at the top of my driveway, get a running start down it, then kept shifting until it would maybe make it to the top of the hill in low gear. Sometimes I had to turn around and try it again.It never made it up that hill with more than just me in it.
I paid $ 100 for it and bet it is worth a lot more now.
