This poster is a visual timeline of Fiat’s automotive evolution, presenting a curated sequence of models from the company’s founding year, 1899, through the mid‑1960s, each illustrated in color and accompanied by concise technical data such as horsepower, cylinder count, and engine layout. Its layout—rows of small, precise renderings—mirrors the didactic style of mid‑century educational wall charts, emphasizing Fiat’s progression from early rear‑mounted two‑cylinder machines to landmark models like the 508 Balilla, the postwar 500 B Giardiniera, the iconic 1957 Nuova 500, and the elegant 2300 S Coupé. Italian descriptors like cl. orizz. post. (horizontal rear cylinders) and corsa (racing) preserve the period’s technical vocabulary, while the inclusion of Grand Prix winners and utilitarian vehicles such as the Campagnola underscores Fiat’s breadth across racing, family transport, and military‑style utility.Collection
