Fiat does not build many cars like the Fiat 512: a 4-door sedan / 4-door limousine / 4-door cabriolet with 3446 , built from 1926 to 1928 the vintage years, when coachbuilders still shaped most of what was sold. Production ran to 2,583 cars.
The story
The Fiat 512 is a passenger car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat between 1926 and 1928. The car was developed from the 510 with modified suspension and brakes. The 3.4-liter straight-six engine produced 46 PS (34 kW). It was produced in 2,600 examples.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits 3446 . Kerb weight is 1750 kg. The gearbox is a 4-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 340 cm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Fiat's history is not in doubt: the Fiat 510 came before it; the Fiat 503 followed it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Pontiac Pontiac, the Renault PN, the Tatra 30. Nearby in the Fiat catalogue sit the FIAT 702 and the Fiat 1.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Fiat 512 has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
