Hi Steve I think your car is a 503 model, I have one in poor condition, and need some parts. please tell me if you still have the car and if you have some parts to sell. visit my web page with some 503 photos.
good luck

may be worth trying ricambio for parts they say they can get most things although this may be a challenge!!

a very nice old machine though ... run it on twenties with a supercharged chevy engine i reckon.... (not)

Some pics of my 503, i havent body parts and the engine is completely disasembled, I have it since 1991, and I try to make a wooden boattail. As you can see it need a lot but a real lot of work!

Hi - I assume you know by now that its not a 501

It is titled as a 1925 501LT. If you do not think that is correct. Please tell me what you believe it to be. It is an original 4 cylinder car. Odd rear door configuration with no cut out for the rear fender like on all others I see. Bought from the family of the original owner. Steve 646-645-1582

Hi - I am quite sure your fiat is a 503 - the 501 had quite a different radiator and bonnet shape.
The 503 was technically built from 1926, and was based on the 501 mechanicals, but I think it also had front brakes (as per the 501 last models)
Given the oral history about it being a show car, perhaps this was an early build for marketing, hence the 1925 build date.
Parts for these are most available in Australia, NZ and Sweden - I think because they tended not to be scrapped for the WWII effort.
There were a number of OHV models made - these were the S models, and gave a top speed of over 65mph - if you have an OHV engine, it will be very rare indeed.
Do you need any parts?
Cheers
Alex
