In September 1968, Fiat put on sale the 500 L or Lusso (tipo 110 F/L), a more richly trimmed and better-equipped version of the standard 500 F. The 500 L remained offered until 1972, when the new Fiat 126 was introduced. + Perhaps the most obvious new feature of the 500 L were tubular guards that protected the front bumper and the corners of the rear bumper. As a result, at 3,025 mm (119 inches), the car was about 6 cm (2.4 inches) longer than the 500 F. Other model-specific exterior items included a new Fiat badge at the front, redesigned hubcaps, chrome plastic trim that covered the roof drop rails, and clear trim around windshield and rear window. Inside, the dashboard was completely covered in black anti-reflective plastic material instead of bare painted metal, and was fitted with a new trapezoid instrument binnacle replacing the round one used on all other 500 models. The steering wheel was black plastic with metal spokes. The door panels – upholstered in the same pleated patterned faux leather used on the seats – carried redesigned and relocated door handles and new door pockets. More storage space was provided in the form of a tray on the center tunnel, which, like the rest of the floor, was covered with carpet instead of rubber mats. With the exception of radial instead of bias ply tires, the 500 L was mechanically identical to the similarly aged 500 F. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
