Fiat came out with an electric 500 in 2020. With Brooklin's close connection with the Italians (see their larger Fiats and Alfa Romeos), it seems they made a promotional model for the release of the real one. I got wind of it via a Facebook post more than a year ago but did not see a single one for sale anywhere. Now, it seems Brooklin had one left in the back of the factory, so I picked it up recently from their eBay outlet store! #1 of 275. And I still do not see any for sale anywhere... maybe people are hoarding them? hahaha In any case, why did I even buy this? I don't collect, 1/64, or Fiats or electric cars or promo cars... But I had to have it.
One piece, brushed metal. Nice job on the wheels and tires...

Wow! Very, very interesting; to my knowledge, John K. has never mentioned these and of course I never heard of them until right now. Very cool, congrats! 😎 😎 😎

Have you ever had the chance / privilege to drive one ? I was not impressed. My ‘68 Opel Kadette was more fun.

Amazing. I can see why you had to have it. Unique, for sure.

Karl, do you now plan to start a little collection of 1/64 scale models? They do not take up much space.

A friend has a Fiat 500 which is in the running for the cute award. The two cylinder 18 HP motor is just not suitable for driving on most roads in the US.
