From Wikipedia:

The508 Balillawas acompact cardesigned and developed byFiatin 1932. It is effectively the replacement of theFiat 509, although production of the earlier model had ceased back in 1929. It had a three-speed transmission (increased to four in 1934), seated four, and had a top speed of about 50mph (80km/h). It sold for 10,800 lire (or 8,300 2005 euro). About 113,000 were produced.

The first 508A, introduced in 1932, was a 2-door "Berlina" (saloon/sedan) with four seats and a three speed "crash" gearbox. The front seats could be slid forwards and the backrests tilted in order to facilitate access to the back seat in what was a relatively small car. Unusually, the windows in the doors could be wound down by turning a crank handle fitted to the door, while the windscreen was hinged at the top and could be opened, while two windscreen wipers were powered by their own electric motor, positioned inside just above the windscreen. The interior used rubber mats while the seats were cloth covered. Accessories offered included a dash-mounted rear-view mirror, an interior light mounted on the centre of the roof and an externally mounted luggage platform at the back which, when specified, came with the spare wheel repositioned to a mounting point on the side of the car between the left-side door and the front wing. A "Lusso" ("de Luxe") version also featured a better type of cloth covering for the seats as well as extra bright work around the lights, front grille, wheels and door handles.

With the 508B, introduced early in 1934, the body was described as "more aerodynamic" although from the perspective of later developments in car styling, the 508B still followed the rather boxy lines associated with cheap cars from the early 1930s. The gear box was upgraded, now offering four forward speeds, and while the a 2-door "Berlina" remained on offer for a few more months, a 4-door "Berlina" was now added. In June of the same year the 2-door "Berlina" was delisted for Italy and there was a further face-lift for the 4-door bodied car, which now received a modified front grille and a windscreen, previously vertical, that was slightly raked, hinting at the more wholesale styling changes that would accompany the appearance in 1937 of the508Cversion of the car. Standard and "Lusso" versions of the 4-door "Berlina" were both offered.

The car is a rare piece and the conditions for this kind of car that is almost 83 years old are fabulous. No problem of body andno sign of rust. The engine is fully functional and the tires are in good condition

The car isworking perfectlyanddrive iton the streetsis a funindescribable.

The car is registered to ASI GoldItalianRegister of Vintage car since 2009. Membership is guaranteed for original spare parts to 100% in the various renovations.
