1962 Autobianchi Bianchina Berlina Special D, 70th Street and Lexington Avenue

Autobianchi was a little known Italian carmaker, known for brutally simple little cars like this one. The Bianchina was based on the Fiat 500, and the performance stats are daunting. This model, one of the rarer 'Specials' had a 499cc engine which produced 21 horsepower, as opposed to the clearly insufficient 17hp of the base models. Charming.
