�€"Classic & Sports Car magazine, May 2020 As the Hagerty folks
explained: Each Jolly was modified by Ghia to the buggy-like
bodywork that characterized their silhouette. A fabric top (lined
with fringe!) replaced the metal roof, the windshield trimmed down,
and the body side were opened up to truly embrace the ocean air
these would certainly be motoring around in. Wicker seats rounded
out the package, which are friendlier to wet and sandy backsides
than typical automotive upholstery. The target audience for the
Jolly was wealthy seaside dwellers, who would use the car for short
errands or take it with them on a yacht to use for transportation
while in port. The story goes that the Jolly originally came about
as the brainchild of a wealthy European industrialist who wanted a
fun car capable of being transported from one Mediterranean coastal
resort to the next on his 80-foot yacht. To say that these cars
have attracted a passionate following among collectors these days
is an understatement. The 1958 Jolly offered here--one of fewer
than 100 believed to still exist worldwide-- is a collector-grade
automobile, meticulously restored to the strictest factory
specifications by FIat Jolly experts in southern California in
2013. It is a fully documented, concours-ready example in bright
red with a whimsical red-and-white-striped, fringed surrey top. It
is virtually impossible to look at the car and not experience a
smile of delight. The list of the car's unique features is nearly
endless, and each one is a design delight: The eyebrow headlight
trim... the combination of whitewall tires, red steel wheels, and
chrome Fiat hubcaps... the friendly front face... the classic Fiat
600 and Ghia crown emblems (the Fiat emblem up front twists to
release the hood)... the Betty Boop knob on the 4-speed
transmission shifter... the chrome treatments on the side trim,
rear grab-handles, and bumpers... the louvers on the
engine-compartment door... those wicker seats (front folding and
rear bench) with matching treatment on the dashboard grab-handle...
the complementing woven floor mats... a steering wheel and
dashboard design that seems to have sprung from a Disney
imagination... perhaps the simplest speedometer on the planet...
and of course there's the surrey top... and the fringe! With all of
that, no side doors. Literally, every single surface on this car is
in pristine condition. Windshield, lighting lenses, chrome,
paintwork, the new fabric top, wheels and new tires all show how
perfectly the car was restored just 175 miles ago. Documentation of
all the restoration work is included with the car. Not
