About quiz 236: 1938 NSU-Fiat by Gläser
Last week’s little Mouse brought us a truckload full of emails. Many did not fall for the Italian made Fiat 500 “Topolino” and identified our quiz-car correctly as a licence built NSU-Fiat from Germany. Most of you thought it to be the Weinsberg version of which there were some 400 made. However, there is one that was built by
Gläser which differs in small details from the Weinsberg, of which the most obvious are the windshield and the angle of the louvers on the side. We received four complete and correct answers from Ingo Jost, Eric Kieboom and jury member Bart Oosterling, but we decided that the winner should be João Pedro Gazineu for his short and simple: “Hi, I’m from Brazil, I’m 18 years old. This car is a 1938
NSU-Fiat 500 spider sport by Gläser. It was based on the Fiat 500 chassis, but it was not built in Italy, it was in Germany.” Congratulations João, the T-shirt is on its way!
