Technical Too much camber?

[twright]

I have taken delivery of my 1961 Fiat 500. In general, I am happy with the car, but the front wheels seem to be tipped in too far. What do you guys think?

It does seem excessive to me, on a smooth road when cornering do the tyres squeal on cornering, not just on your painted concrete garage?
Just a thought, when looking side on does the car look low at the rear?
If the rear is low it has the affect of making the front wheels tuck in.
Has the car been used enough on those tyres to show excessive wear on the outside edge of the tread?

This car is so new to me that I have not even seen it in person. The car was delivered to a friend of mine while I was out of town. He has been kind enough to garage it and send me some pictures. I won't be able to answer many questions till I get home.

But, if this is leaning too much, what could cause it?

As I said at #2, if low at back it has the affect of raising the front causing front suspension/wheels to tuck in.
So if rear springs old /soft that may be the reason.
There are several Forum members who have specific knowledge of classic 500s and can give you measurements etc. Plus other advice.

I am sure that the gas tank in this vehicle is almost empty. Does a full tank lower the front end of this car significantly?
