Leno is using the auction to raise money and awareness for the Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides services and support to the families of wounded American soldiers
Only 500 Prima Ediziones were built to commemorate Fiat’s return to the U.S. auto market in late 2011. This particular car, numbered 00002, is the second new 500 produced for American consumers and the first ever delivered to a customer.
The vehicle is white with a black side stripe featuring a “500” detail and has a special badge on the dash.
The Fiat is expected to raise $25,000 to $35,000 for Fisher House.
CAR’s annual Fleet Remarketing Awards opened a reimagined 2026 conference designed to bridge the worlds of fleet management and automotive remarketing.

The enhanced technology allows rental car operations, dealerships, and auctions to compare a vehicle’s condition at pickup and drop-off within the same rental or loaner record.
A panel at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing will examine how resale value is created across the vehicle lifecycle and which traditional remarketing practices still deliver ROI.
Smart operational and spec'ing decisions can dramatically improve both the total cost of ownership during use and the resale value when it's time to remarket day cabs.
