The FIAT Emblem - 1921
This 1921 emblem, with the name in red on a white background, appeared for the first time on the 12-cylinder Superfiat and on the 6-cylinder 519. All the Company's 6-cylinder vehicles adopted it until 1934.
In actual fact, the circular emblem had already been used, in the beginning, on the Fiat 801, a sports model that had taken part in Grand Prix races immediately after the First World Ware. But it was with the Superfiat that it made its debut in the world of production vehicles.
Built on the experience acquired in motor racing, the Superfiat had better aerodynamic coefficients thanks to a less square profile and steeply raked windscreen. Two body types were available, the Torpedo and Dorsay Torpedo, the latter without a front hard top. Available in luxurious versions with antique leather trim and prestigious fittings, the 520 featured an advanced mechanical design, including overhead valves and battery ignition.
The circular emblem which appeared in 1921 continued to be used over the following years with just a few changes to the colour of the background and name.
