A Leather-Bound Fiat 500c For A Good Cause

Usually, when you have to go to an important event, you take the time to suit up. Some will choose to wear silk or velour, while the more adventurous may go for the leather jacket.

It seems that the Fiat 500c is part of the second category; the car you see in the above pictures is covered in a few cow skins (Italian cows, mind you!), specifically around its grille, headlights, wheel arches and rear lights. The mirror covers are styled to look like the deck of a Riva yacht. Finally, there is a small piece of luggage covered in leather in the back.

The car has been built to represent Italian engineering, and it will be auctioned off for a good cause: all proceeds from the sale will go to the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Europe Society.
