This was the first Fiat car that used a monocoque type body, introduced at the 1950 Geneva Motor Show.
The car received a seires of improvements until production stopped in 1958. A diesel engine was introduced in 1953, a 1900 cc model which was another first for Fiat. The engine is however called the 1400 in order to avoid confusion with the then-newly released 1900 petrol engine. When production ceased, some 77,000 cars were produced.
First car on the left is a Fiat 1400. Next could be a 1950s vintage
light US truck but it cannot be sure yet which one. Next, on the right,
is a 1954 Chevrolet bus. The wagon type vehicle in front the modified
truck is most likely a Chevrolet Suburban from around 1955.
