**Year, Make, Model:** Fiat-Chrysler published a release stating that it will bring back the [Fiat 500](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) 1957 Edition for 2019, an appearance package that was discontinued after the 2016 model year.

**What's New:** The '57 package includes a bunch of retro-inspired styling additions, many of them based on the 1957 Fiat Nuovo Cinquecento (New 500).

The '57 package will be an upgrade for the 500's mid-level "Lounge" trim, tacking $995 on top of the Lounge's $19,745 retail price. The 1957 Edition, like all other 500 trims, will be available as a hardtop, or a cabriolet.

In the 1957 Edition, buyers will get:

- Three new 16-inch retro-inspired wheel options (White, Green or Blue)
- Exterior highlights with vintage elements, such as retro fascia with bright inserts and retro “FIAT” badging, retro Ivory door-trim panels, White exterior mirrors, two-toned paint with White roof on hatchback models and Black soft top on cabrio models
- Three retro-inspired paint colors: Celeste Blue (Retro Light Blue), Chiaro (Light Green) and Bianco Ice (White)
- Elegant interior features with Italian style: Ivory door-trim panels and Marrone leather shift boot, Avorio/Marrone leather-wrapped steering wheel and retro “FIAT” badge

**Quotable:** “Our Italian-designed, fun-to-drive Fiat 500 comes standard with turbocharged power,” said Steve Beahm, head of FCA North America's passenger car brands. “The 1957 Edition offers a fun, custom appearance for the iconic Fiat 500.”

**What You Need to Know:** The 2019 500 will hit dealers this fall, and be offered in three trims: Pop, Lounge, and Abarth. The Pop model, starting at $16,245, will come with [Fiat's 1.4-liter "MultiAir"](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/18351/the-2018-fiat-500-goes-turbo>) turbocharged four cylinder engine making 135 horsepower. The Lounge package will have an upgraded interior with heated leather seats, and the [sporty Abarth](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2903/the-fiat-500-abarth-is-still-a-sex-bomblet>) will see its 1.4 engine get boosted to 160 horsepower. All trims will be available with either a five-speed manual, or six-speed automatic transmission.
