Moretti 500 D

Automobiles

The Moretti 500 D, which the carrozzieri-italiani.com listing calls the Fiat 500 D Moretti, was a version of the Fiat 500 D that Moretti coachbuilt in 1961. The page describes the Fiat 500 as a compact city car and says Moretti applied its own construction methods and stylistic details to set its variant apart from the standard Fiat, with a streamlined silhouette meant to improve looks and aerodynamics for town use. It says the car was powered by an inline-four engine on Fiat established rear-engine chassis, giving small dimensions and nimble handling, with a suspension set for comfort on city roads. Production data are sparse, and the listing says surviving examples are recorded in private collections and institutional archives. It gives no fuel, no engine class and no body style by name.
