Some Fiat cars seen in Manjusha Car Museum in Dharmasthala. All these cars now belong to Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala.

Soon FCB stickers will go on these Fiats.

Yes I have but I don't remember the number of times I have visited the museum.

During my last visit, I also visited their workshop. Its a huge shed just behind the Museum. Around four Vintage cars were being worked upon.

Nice to see these scans - if you have more of the other cars, do share.

The Topolino appears to be a choptop - and should be earlier than 1956.

Also appears to have been fitted with 1100 wheels and hubcaps?

I think what you saw was a Peugeot 202, which had this feature, the grille having a similar appearance to the topolino:

Arun helped me get a Fiat Sunshade. Since, it doesnt need any modifications on the car to install it, I plan to use it on my S1 after getting it painted.

What is your opinion guys? Should I or should I not?

Ask MB to make a rendering of your car with the sunshade. According to me it may look a bit strange because S1 comes with the Air intake vents which make it look bold n sporty. So the sunshade may spoil the look of the car. Sunshade will surely suit the Padmini models prior to S1.

My opinion rest is upto you. Just be careful with my car.

It may sound but what I understand by sunshare is the one which is put above front windshild. (like spoiler in front ) . but Sujit what do you mean by Air intake vents in S1? Can you please explain.

Thanks,
Pradip.

Okay. My belief is it helps a lot to cut down sun rays entering the car. This could cut down the heat a bit. I am looking at practical advantages.

Moreover, YOUR car is being taken care too well dear. It stays indoor most of the times. Its a special car to me and use it only ocassionally.

This is unique in S1 and 137D's. Check attached picture. And yes, Sunshade is the one that appears over the windshield and will cut down on lot of sun rays entering the car from front.
