FIAT Multipla Hearse Conversion - 1962
A number of years back I was approached regarding my FIAT Abarth Multipla - I made the commitment to design some alternative types for building. Many slack years later, I have finally (partially) delivered on the project with one of the suggested sub-types - a Hearse conversion. Now, I am not sure how non-tall one would need to be to be fitted inside a box, inside a Multipla, but it might need to be quite non-tall, cause Multiplas really aren't that big. They do use the space well though, so you never know.....
Interestingly, in researching the model, there looks to have been omore than one type of conversion doing the rounds during the period, including one from Allemano (not this one though), responsible for the Simca 750 Coupe Racer from the 115th Build challenge.
The Multipla is an interesting TARDIS model. The car is truly tiny, yet standard editions of the car had three rows of seats. There were delivery vans, pickups firetrucks, and all sorts of other oddities built upon its versatile platform.
The tiny engine lived behind the rear axle, yet for the environs of tight Roman streets of old Italian cities, the Multipla was entirely able.
The model shown here shows some of this versatility. No doubt if you lived in one of these Roman city centres, and you were going for your 'last ride', the little Multipla is an obvious chariot of choice.
This Lego miniland-sclae FIAT Mulipla Hearse Conversion from 1962 has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 116th Build Challenge, - 'Pickups and Vans', - a challenge to build pickups and vans.
