Very interesting Fiat.... But is it a wagon?

Is it a wagon?

The short answer is NO. If you want the long answer, its NOOOOOOOO!

 

What if the seats were turned backwards and the steering wheel and controls mounted behind the engine? Would it then be a wagon? It would certainly become better aerodynamics, as well as a suicide door

 

That sort of reminds me of an episode of the Red Green Show. Red took a front engine front wheel drive car and converted it to rear engine rear wheel drive. What you suggest would be the same kind of conversion in reverse.

I couldn't find the video of that conversion, but here Red made a Zamboni out of a K-car and thats almost the same sort of conversion.

Naughty Fiat!

 

The Multipla is definitely a wagon. FIAT built a little-bit larger passenger van around the same time; and when placed side-by-side, you can see the difference. These are very cool cars.

Guys, if you are considering size and/or configuration as the criteria for what is a "wagon", then consider the Crosley wagon. Smaller than the Multipla, it was the largest-selling wagon in the US in 1946.

This is a cool old thread. Hey Ivy, are you related to hanswurt von plumperstien???? Y’all both have the same accent

 

I don't know if I'm related to him. But, I'm sure he's related to me, somehow

 

Weird. It’s almost like y’all are the same person?! But then again all Germans look the same...

 

You got a point, there. Hanswurst does look somewhat cartoonish. We must be sharing DNA, afterall. I guess, I'll have to work on getting into his will, for that, since I'm now entitled to inheriting.
How to fly a Multipla. Since the rear ends of the Multipla and Fiat 600 are identicle, so are upgrades:
