Autobianchi had been created in 1955 through a joint partnership between Bianchi, Fiat and Pirelli. The new firm would build upscale versions of Fiat products, with a nod toward the female market through stylish, modern designs and fashionable two-tone color schemes.
Following a successful line of two-place Autobianchi Bianchina models, a stylish station wagon variant was first shown in 1960. It utilized the Fiat 500 Giardiniera platform, with its lie-down motor, to provide an exceptionally spacious and bright interior for four people and their luggage. Appropriately named Panoramica for its very large windows, the comparison between a Fiat 500 Giardiniera and the Panoramica is startling in terms of glass area. From 1969, both Fiat and Autobianchi station wagons were produced side by side at Milan.
Reported as original with a 2015 paint application, this Panoramica has the 499-cc two-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission, original title and owner’s manual, this is a stylish unit with period élan.
