Fiat 1500 Berlina 6 Luci Bertone

The Fiat 1500 Berlina 6 Luci Bertone represents a special-bodied interpretation of Fiat’s six-cylinder 1500 range, introduced in the mid-1930s. Carrozzeria Bertone was among the Italian firms experimenting with more streamlined and carefully proportioned saloon bodies in this period. The designation 6 Luci refers to the six-window arrangement of the passenger compartment and distinguishes this version from other body configurations.

The original Fiat 1500 offered an advanced mechanical and aerodynamic foundation for the era. Independent coachbuilders could retain the Fiat running gear while changing the roofline, glasshouse, body panels and interior arrangement to meet customers’ individual requirements. Specialist studies of Fiat fuoriserie support the existence of Bertone-bodied 1500 variants in the 1935 period.

This catalogue entry preserves the historical Bertone association and the six-light description recorded by Carrozzieri Italiani. It should not be read as proof of an individually identified chassis or a complete production series. Neither the number of examples made nor a particular designer’s authorship is established by the presently reviewed evidence.
