History

The Fiat 519 is the first car to be produced in the Lingotto facilities .Together with the 520 Superfiat , it was FIAT's high-end car in the period between the two world wars . He had installed hydraulic brakes (more precisely a Pierrot system) on all four wheels, an exception for the time.

2411 cars were produced.Built on a completely new frame , it featured a wheelbase of 3600 mm, a length of 4365 mm and a track width of 1471 mm. It was rear-wheel drive . Several versions were marketed, more precisely sedan , limousine and cabriolet . 

Five different versions were produced, namely the "519", the "519A", the "519B", the "519C" and the "519S 4 / 5S Tourer". They all had four doors and 2 + 2 seats. Below are summarized the salient features of the various models:

• 519A: compared to the "519" it had a higher radiator and a more powerful coolant circuit pump. The oil filler, now in the center of the pedestal, was also modified. It had a rear anti-roll crossbow , which avoided the mounting of a conventional suspension scheme ;
• 519B: marketed since 1925 , compared to the previous model it had a different braking device mounted on the front end (more precisely a "perrot" system). The suspensions were improved;
• 519C (also known as "colonial"): for this version the height from the ground was increased. 
• 519S: shorter version (it had a pitch of 3300 mm) and a track remained unchanged, more precisely 1475 mm.

The gearbox was four-speed manual.he engine was a six-cylinder in-line engine and had a displacement of 4766 cc with overhead valves and two valves per cylinder , a bore of 85 mm and a stroke of 140 mm. It developed a power of 77 hp . The suspension was a semi-elliptical crossbow and was rear wheel drive . It reached the maximum speed of 127 km / h . It weighed 2350 kg
