Moretti 500 Promiscua

The Moretti 500 Promiscua was a compact station wagon that Moretti showed at the 1959 Turin Auto Salon. The carrozzieri-italiani.com listing says it was based on the Fiat 500, a popular city car of the day, and turned that small platform into a versatile load carrier with an exceptionally low floor that made luggage and goods easy to load, a feature aimed at urban professionals, small business owners and families. Unusually for the period it was front-wheel drive, and its 455 cc engine was derived from the Fiat 500 mechanics. The listing calls it a show car and says production numbers remained limited. Its smooth, compact lines drew praise from enthusiasts and critics at the Salon. The maker's history page describes a front-wheel-drive 500 Giardiniera of 1959 that may be the same car, but the listing does not say so, and this entry does not claim it.
