There are several types of gear knobs for vintage Fiat 500 cars: let's see what the differences are. The beige/gray one is for the first model, the one mounted on the Fiat 500N, coordinated with the speedometer and steering wheel. This model was produced from July '57 to March '61, but this knob was used until April '58; after that, it will become black.

In both cases, the gear lever is black (Fiat 601 semi-gloss). The black knob is also inherited by the next model, namely the 500D produced from October '60 to March '65. From March '65 the 500F is born, with the shiny black "mushroom" knob, and it will remain so until November '72. From September '68 to November '72, the 500L is also produced in parallel, and this version will also have this knob.

When the 500R is born in November '72 - which is the last model of the 500 that will cease production on July 31, '75, it has a new spherical knob.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
