My first trip to Paris…I immediately notice the smart cars. This downsize of vehicles hadn’t started in the US yet. I saw my first Smart Cars, Mercedes etc…this is a Fiat 500. I owned one of these in 1971. It was a 1959 Fiat 500. It was fun to drive for a few weeks, then the electrical charging went bad. I couldn’t get parts etc…..so it sat….it had a cool flip back sunroof. Another cool thing was a wire pull rod that was a cruise control. It held the gas pedal at pedal to the floor. The car would max out at 65-70 mph.
