1928 Fiat 520

Fiat produced the 520 from 1921 through 1923, and then again from 1927 through 1930. The early 1920s version was powered by a V-12 engine displacing 6805cc and produced 90 horsepower. Known as the 'SuperFiat', they were a luxury car in both a 4-door Cabriolet and Sedanca de Ville body styles and rested on a large 152-inch wheelbase.

When the Fiat 520 returned in the late 1920s, it continued to cater to the Italian middle class. It was officially replaced by the Fiat 521 for 1928, the 520 remained in production until at least 1929 with total production reaching nearly 20,000 examples. The engine was a six-cylinder unit displacing 2244cc and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The wheelbase measured 114.2-inches.
