If the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/19/four-door-fiat-500-reportedly-in-the-works-with-north-america-in/">Fiat 500</a> does as well here in the U.S. as it has in the rest of the world, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> is going to have plenty to celebrate. Fiat just announced that it has sold a staggering 500,000 500s in just three years. To mark the occasion, the company is creating a special edition, complete with fan photos incorporated into the paint. Sadly, only UK residents can submit their pictures, though Fiat says it is reserving a total of 70 percent of the car's surface for actual owners. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/20/alfa-romeo-to-host-centenary-rally-for-3000-alfas-in-milan/">Alfa Romeo</a> is rolling out a similar program to mark a special occasion of its own. The company has officially been in business for 100 years, and as such, it plans on plastering a Giulietta hatch with images from the brand's history books. Expect to see shots from <em>The Graduate</em> to make the cut, as well as a handful of owner-submitted pictures and celebrity photos, too.<br />
<br />
At this point, it's not clear whether Fiat and Alfa are planning on working up some sort of photomosaic or simply slathering the cars with the photos and hoping for the best. Either way, the finished product should be something to behold. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/28/your-face-here-fiat-celebrating-half-a-million-500s-with-owner/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for the details.<br />
