The Hot Wheels '60s Fiat 500D Modificado, catalog number FYN57, is a collectible model from the Premium line, released as piece 1/5 in the Car Culture: Gulf series. This 1:64 scale car is intended for adult collectors—fans of European microcars and collectors of models in the iconic Gulf Racing livery.
The '60s Fiat 500D Modificado casting was designed by Mark Jones and debuted in 2017 in the Car Culture: Air-Cooled series as DWH71. It is worth noting that despite the name, the casting is actually based on the 500F version rather than the 500D—this is indicated by the conventionally opening doors instead of the "suicide" doors characteristic of the 500D. The 2019 FYN57 version features light blue paint with orange stripes on the sides and roof, the number "5," and "Gulf" logos on the sides and hood. The base is raw ZAMAC, an unpainted zinc alloy with a natural metallic finish; the windows are clear, and the interior is white. The model rolls on orange C4SPRR wheels—Real Riders with rubber tires. The country of origin is Thailand.
The Car Culture: Gulf series was created in collaboration with the Gulf Oil brand and is entirely based on its recognizable color scheme: light blue with an orange stripe. These colors became historic thanks to teams sponsored by Gulf in endurance racing during the late 60s and early 70s and remain one of the most popular liveries to replicate in model collecting today. Applying them to a tiny Fiat 500 creates a deliberately playful effect—which is precisely why this piece opens the entire five-car series.
The original is the Fiat 500, or Nuova 500, an urban microcar produced by the Italian brand from the late 1950s until 1975. It was powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled two-cylinder engine with a displacement of less than 600 cm³ and power output ranging from a dozen to over twenty horsepower, delivered to the rear axle. The 500D version was produced between 1960 and 1965, before being replaced by the 500F variant. The Fiat 500 motorized post-war Italy and remains a symbol of Italian design to this day—and in the tuning scene, it is a popular base for modifications, to which the "Modificado" moniker in the casting's name directly alludes.
For the collector, the FYN57 is a standout piece in any display case: a rare combination of a microcar and a racing livery, a raw ZAMAC base, a white interior, and orange wheels with rubber tires. The Car Culture: Gulf series is one of the most sought-after collections to complete, which further drives up the prices of individual units.
