Traditional virtues
the 525, a big and comfortable six-cylinder car, was not noted for performance, but it incorporated fiats traditional virtues of light steering, good brakes and easy handling. Bodies for the 525 included limousines and landaulettes as well as sedans and tourers. The finish was very luxurious, and one of these automobiles was offered to pope pius xi.
sporty alternative
the 525ss made its debut when three 525s appeared in the 1929 international alpine trial with hydraulic brakes, specially tuned engines, and lowered chassis. In 1931 a few 2 + 2 open touring cars were built on a 118-in.-wheelbase chassis, compared to the 134-in. 525. These sporty 525sss, which were almost 400 lbs. Lighter than the 525s, had two-tone paint, cutaway doors, detachable fenders without mudguards and wire wheels. The engine reached 88 hp with
