The Autobianchi Giardiniera is a supermini produced by the Italian automaker Autobianchi, based on the Fiat 500 Giardiniera. The Fiat version was offered since 1960, and was available in various configurations: station wagon and van. The Autobianchi Giardiniera was produced from 1968 to 1977, effectively replacing the Fiat counterpart.
It was also marketed as the Autobianchi Bianchina Giardiniera.[1][2] The overall layout was very similar to the earlier Panoramica but the Giardiniera was more utilitarian oriented and ideally suited for light commerce.[3] It also retained the same exterior design from Fiat with only a badge change, and still featured the suicide doors.
