As part of MillionTreesNYC, Fiat North America planted 12 pear trees inside models of the Fiat 500 Cabrio at Juan Pablo Duarte Square on Canal Street and 6th Avenue. The installation was also timed to mark the opening of the new Fiat Gallery at 18 Wooster Street. The trees will be planted once the exhibit ends. Juan Pablo Duarte was one of the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic and other dedications of him are up in Washington Heights, near Lou Gehrig’s New York Public Library.
