1960 NSU/Fiat Weinsberg 500 Limousette

Loosely based on the Fiat Nuova 500, the Weinsberg 500 Limousette and Coupe emerged from the NSU/Fiat plant in Heilbronn.

The drivetrain was all Fiat 500, but the coachwork was more similar with the NSU Prinz.

Only small numbers of these cars were produced, 6190 over 4 years.
