yes, an early one with the single headlight in the middle of the grille. @rjluna2: no kidding, this became illegal in Germany. Owners of these Fiats had to remove this third headlight. Because only locomotives are allowed to have three headlights. |

It became illegal in Italy, too, but it affected new cars only, as it should be a rule, as it is in North America. Nobody had to fit a 1970 VW with the bumpers of 1974 ones in the U.S. -- Last edit: 2014-05-29 13:47:59 |

Exacty, electra225. It is still legal on the road with pre-1967 vehicles without backup lights. |

In Germany these regulations are the same, too, with just a few exceptions - as this third headlight. And all cars, even pre-war and vintage, have to have indicators. |

Yes, ingo, indicators must be fitted even by us, but pre 1959 cars can can still have the odd central fog light. I admit that it depends by the subject, you are right, ingo. Thank you both, riluna2 and ingo. -- Last edit: 2014-05-29 16:39:20 |

They were afraid to mistake these cars for locomotives? ![]() |

No kidding - but this was really the official justification. |
