Fiat brand has introduced the new Fiat 500 1957 Edition Cabrio.

Fiat continues to celebrate the storied past of the historic Nuova 500 with the addition of a cabrio version of the popular Fiat 500 1957 Edition, which was introduced in 2014. The Fiat 500c 1957 Edition
features a premium dual-layer power-operated cloth top - a contemporary solution to the famous canvas roof on the original Cinquecento - designed to deliver all-season driving pleasure with the top up or down.

"We continue to expand the Fiat lineup," said Jason Stoicevich, Head, Fiat, North America. "The Fiat 500 1957 Edition celebrates the spirit of the original 1957 Nuova 500, and with the arrival of a cabrio version, we are adding open-air fun to the iconic Italian-designed Fiat 500 1957 Edition."

Pricing for the well-equipped limited-production model starts at US$ 24,700 MSRP, just US$ 1,900 more than a base Fiat 500c Lounge. The Fiat 500c 1957 Edition is available for orders now and will arrive at studios this spring.

With just the push of a button, the Fiat 500c 1957 Edition's power-operated cloth top retracts up to the rear spoiler during speeds up to a best-in-class 60 mph (a midway point may be chosen by pressing the button anytime between). Press the roof button again, and the roof will neatly fold all the way open and tuck neatly behind the rear head restraints (up to 50 mph).

The power cloth top offers even more technology. When the liftgate is opened for trunk access, the power-operated cloth top automatically retracts back to the rear-spoiler position to avoid any obstruction.

Now available as either a hatchback or a cabrio, the 2015 Fiat 500 1957 Edition includes a sport-tuned suspension for improved handling, 16-inch forged aluminum wheels with a retro body-color design, throwback 'Fiat' badging and a premium marrone (brown) and avorio (ivory) leather interior. The model is available in three classic exterior colors - bianco (white), verde chiaro (light green) and exclusive celeste (celestial blue).
