Italian Light Staff Car (Open Top) w/ Crew "Libya"

In 1935, Fiat launched a small car called “Topolino” for the average family.
It had a 569 cc four-cylinder engine that could reach a speed of 85 kilometers per hour.
The car has been produced since 1936.
Although it has enough capacity to carry five people, the factory initially sold it only as a two-seat version.
This decision soon proved to be very successful.
Later the car was manufactured under license in many Western European countries.
At the beginning of the Second World War, this car was primarily used for military purposes. The Italian and German armies widely used this vehicle on the battlefields of Europe, North Africa and Russia.
It's hard to believe that this small car could survive on the harsh battlefield, and after the liberation of Europe, this car was still used by the Allied forces in France and Belgium.
