I decided to try something a little different this time, and just focus on a compelling detail with this drawing, a simple drawing that conveys the car without showing the whole outline. I think it worked out nicely and plan to do this more often.
The first Fiat 600 design was relatively unchanged for decades, and originally was much like a more family-sized 500. This particular drawing could easily be taken for a 500, and frankly that was the intent--call it a Cinquecento if you want! The horizontal lines that were found above and below the medallion in the early models are light enough that they would have looked out of place in this drawing, and so it really does end up looking like the 500 as well.
The real point of the drawing was to capture the outline of the badge in front and imply what car it is without that being the main feature. My son and I call it the "mustache." He gets a real kick out of the fact that we have a car with facial hair.
