Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is very proud to present to you this very rare and
infinitely cool 1962 Fiat 600 Jolly! In 1958 Fiat began shipping a
number of Fiat 600s to the Italian design house Ghia for conversion
into the Jolly. Featuring wicker seats and the option of a fringed
top to shield its occupants from the Mediterranean sun, these cars
were originally made for use on large yachts of the wealthy
(Aristotle Onasis owned one). This particular Jolly, finished in
slick white paint, was made in Italy and exported new to the
American market for sale. The first things that strike you when you
see it are the lack of doors and the fringed, white surrey top -
this car was made for the beach! The top is in very good condition
and has been replaced in the recent past. The tubular chrome
bumpers, chrome-backed front grill, and chrome trim pieces are all
in very good condition and gleam in the sunlight. The cream-painted
12" steel wheels feature polished hubcaps and are mounted with
2-ply BF Goodrich Silvertown white wall tires. The open cabin
houses re-caned wicker seats with a body-color dashboard and black
rubber floor liners. Both front seats flip forward for easy access
to the back seat. Equipment includes a dash-mounted rear-view
mirror and passenger-side grab handle. A body-color steering wheel
frames a 70-mph speedometer flanked by displays for oil pressure
and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 8,379 miles that we
believe to be actual. Beneath the vented rear deck lid rests an
inline four-cylinder 633cc water-cooled engine with a single
carburetor. The engine is paired to a four-speed manual trans-axle.
While in the engine compartment you can see that the engine and
chassis numbers match the build tag to the left of the engine.
Steering comes via a worm and sector box and drum brakes on all
four corners provide stopping power. Take a peek at the
undercarriage to find a jet black paint job and no signs of rust.
Underneath you'll also notice the transverse leaf spring front
suspension and independent rear suspension. Pop open the front
trunk to reveal an original jack, a full-size spare tire, and what
appears to be a period-correct air pump. There's also enough
storage room up front for a small cooler and beach bag. Jolly's
don't come up for sale very often so don't waste this opportunity
to own this beautiful, beach-faring piece of history!
