Wednesday Night Classic Car Cruise

I spotted this 1960's Fiat 1500 Cabriolet towards the back of the cruise, just outside the main area... These are quite rare in western Canada, I'd almost say it's probably the only one in Calgary... I never found the owner, wish I would have...
With its new 80 HP engine and its inspired aerodynamic body, the Fiat 1500 Spider sports roadster is a constant thrill to its owner, and never-failing lift to his pride.
Handling as gently as a kitten, it will do 100 miles an hour with safety, luxury and comfort. Its super-efficient, economical (1481 cc) engine takes it from zero to 60 in a few seconds.
Fiat's famed mechanical know-how and the best in racing experience has been concentrated in this engine to achieve the peak potential of internal combustion.
Polyspheric combustion chambers, provide better compression ratios and improved overall distribution of stresses; thus minimum wear and maximum life. Two-barrel Weber carburetor and inclined OHV system combine to assure full power output.

The body, available in several beautiful colors, is another triumph for Pininfarina mastery of design. Crisp, clean and clear of line -- not an inch wasted -- its electrifying to the eye at a standstill or in flight.

The interior has been planned with equal emphasis on convenience and comfort. Specially designed bucket seats covered with leatherette grain upholstery and padded with heavy foam are contoured to give effective support under all driving conditions and to relax driver and companion. Bucket seats can be adjusted to fit perfectly, with ample fore and aft range.

Dashboard is illuminated tastefully and clearly. Instruments are easy to read, controls are at your finger tips.
Ignition key also locks steering wheel. Clock, cigarette lighter, heater, defroster, electric fan, windshield wipers, other accessories that usually cost extra are all included.
Top raised and lowered easily by one person in either seat in seconds, providing full "all weather" protection. Roll-up windows. Trunk is extra large, with flat floor, all space usable. You can pack more luggage in the 1500 than in most comparable size sports cars. Spare tire underneath. A hardtop is optional.
