So What's Up With Jerry Seinfeld's 1967 Fiat "BTM?"

As we told you earlier this morning, we know the media's claiming Seinfeld rolled a "1967 Fiat BTM" this past weekend. He's unhurt, however as we all well know, there's no such vehicle with that designation built by Fiat. According to Wikipedia — the paragon of all that is filled with truthiness — there were six models built by Fiat in 1967. Now we can obviously exclude the '67 Fiat Dino Spider, because if he'd been driving that when it rolled, he'd be dead. So what are the other options? Here they are (Fiat fan-boys, feel free to let us know if we're missing any):

Let's figure this one out. What was Jerry Seinfeld driving? Was it even a 1967 Fiat? Was it, as some have claimed, a Fiat 850? Come on Jalopnik commentariat, don't fail us now!

Seinfeld Rolls 1967 Fiat "BTM," Unhurt

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld rolled his 1967 Fiat "BTM" this weekend after the brakes of the classic car failed on him. Apparently, after the brake failure, Seinfeld tried the emergency brake in East Hampton, NY, but it seems even that couldn't quite do the job, forcing Seinfeld to swerve in order to avoid flying into an intersection, thus rolling the car. We're told Seinfeld's OK. The '67 Fiat "BTM" (Yeah, so what's up with a Fiat "BTM," anyway? That's what the AP's claiming it is — and we've no idea what Fiat the man half behind a show about nothing owns) however, was not. Seinfeld's not be charged in the incident which is being attributed to mechanical failure. (Hat tip to Michael!) [via CNN]
