Fiat Type 4

The Fiat Type 4, called Tipo 4 in Italian and French, was a car that the Italian maker Fiat built in 1910. In that year Fiat renewed its whole range of passenger cars and introduced the name Tipo, so that the Tipo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 appeared together. The Tipo 4 was a grand luxury car at the very top of the range. From 1915 it had a 12 volt electrical installation as standard, and one example received a Cabriolet Royal body for the journeys of the King of Italy during the First World War. The article adds that the car was exported to the United States and Australia and that from 1911 it was built in the United States, at the Fiat Motor Corporation plant at Poughkeepsie, as the Fiat Tipo 56 or 35 HP.
