Both continued until 1957 when they were replaced by an all-new, lighter car. The new car had a rear-mounted engine, on the pattern of the

Besides the two-door saloon, it was also available as the "Giardiniera" estate; this variant featured the standard engine laid on its side, the wheelbase lengthened by to provide a more convenient rear seat, a full-length sunroof and larger brakes from the Fiat 600. Although only the 1958-61 Fiat 500N (Normale) was the only version officially sold in North America, the Fiat 500 was a popular gray-market car in the 1960s and 1970s, with private imports in the thousands.

s." Including the Sport model, in total 181,036 examples of the ''Nuova'' 500 were produced from 1957 until 1960.

''Nuova'' 500 Sport (1958–1960)

In mid-1958 Fiat introduced the Nuova 500 Sport, featuring a more powerful engine and a two-tone livery—white with a red stripe along the flanks. Unique to the Sport was an all-metal rigid roof with three longitudinal grooves. A short-open-roof model was added a year later, in 1959. Coded type ''110.004'', the 500 Sport's two-cylinder engine had been bored out to 499.5 cc from the original 479 cc (bore and stroke now ), giving it a very respectable

with the same block: . Top speed was over .

500 D (1960–1965)

Replacing the original Nuova in 1960, the D looks very similar to the Nuova, but there are two key differences. One is the engine size (the D features an uprated 499 cc engine producing 17 bhp as standard—this engine is used right through until the end of the L in 1973) and the other is the roof: the standard D roof does not fold back as far as the roof on the Nuova, though it was also available as the "Transformable" with the same roof as the Nuova. The D also features "

s". In New Zealand, where it was locally assembled by Torino Motors, the 500 D was sold as the "Fiat Bambina" (Italian for "baby"), a name that is still in use there to describe this car.

500 F or ''Berlina'' (1965–1972)

The F spans two periods of 500 production, the D and the L. As such, it is the most frequently misidentified model. Between 1965 and 1969 the F carried the same badging as the D, but the two models are distinguishable by the positioning of their door hinges. The D has "

s": the F, produced from June 1965, at last featured front-hinged doors. This was the result of new safety regulations which required front-hinged doors on passenger cars - the Giardiniera was officially a commercial vehicle and was thus allowed to retain the original, rear-hinged design. Between 1969 and 1972 the F was sold alongside the ''Lusso'' model as a cheaper "base model" alternative. While the F and L are mechanically very similar, the key differences are the bumpers (the L has an extra chrome nudge bar) and the interior (the F interior is nearly identical to the original 1957 design while the L sports a much more modern look). The 500 F is perhaps most associated with the Japanese media franchise

500 L or ''Lusso'' (1968–1972)

In September 1968 Fiat put on sale the 500 L or ''Lusso'' (''tipo 110 F/L''), a more richly trimmed and better appointed version of the standard 500 F. The 500 L remained on sale until 1972, when the new

was introduced. Perhaps the most obvious new feature of the 500 L were tubular guards protecting the front bumper and the corners of the rear one. As a result, the car was about longer than the 500 F at . Other model-specific exterior items were a new Fiat badge at the front, redesigned hubcaps, chrome plastic mouldings covering the roof drip rails, and bright trim around windscreen and rear window. Inside the dashboard was entirely covered in black anti-glare plastic material instead of being bare painted metal, and was fitted with a new trapezoid instrument binnacle replacing the round one used on all other 500 models. The steering wheel was black plastic with metal spokes. The door cards—upholstered in the same pleated pattern

Fiat 500 ''America''

During the years in which it was produced the 500 in Italy, Fiat designed and produced a US-market version of the car with 15hp using the 479cc engine. Changes to the car include prominent headlamps to meet US standards (also used on the American 500 Jolly). They also came equipped with larger front and rear bumpers with bumperettes, and a speedometer in MPH. It can also be noted that there were 4 tail lights used for the N model however only 3 were used for the American version. In 1958 it is believed that Carello (the producer of the tail lights for Fiat) began a strike leading to changes in the design. Thus leading the 58's to have a color matched base with the body, early 59's to have an aluminum base thicker than the European model, and late 59 and 60's to have a "D model" style base. The 1958 Fiat 500 America came equipped with a flat floor pan which was later revised for the 1959 and 1960 version to have a scoop for more leg room. Another notable difference is in the routing of the heating tubes between these earlier years. Towards the end of 59 models Fiat began transitioning to their D model. Some notable changes include the different tail lights, removal of the fresh air vents on the nose, and only 2 water drainage ports (downgraded from the 3 previous years had) along the bottom of the doors. About 300 were made between 1958 and 1960 at which point they were discontinued as they did not do well in the American market compared to the competition. There was a special "sport" version of this car were the engine was bored out to 499.5 to produce 21 hp, coming only in white with a red stripe across the car.
