For Sale: 1970 Fiat 850 in Laguna Beach, California
The Fiat Shellette is the result of a collaboration between yacht
designer Phillip Schell and famed automotive stylist Giovanni
Michelotti. Michelotti was one of Italy's most important and
influential stylists, servicing Vignale, Maserati, Lancia, BMW and
many others.
VEHICLE OVERVIEW
Based on the 850 chassis, the Fiat Shellette has been substantially
reworked to the point where it bears little resemblance to the
Fiat. The styling by Michelotti is dramatic and aero, reflecting
the design trends of the mid to late '60s in Italy. Unlike the much
more common Fiat 600 Jolly, the Fiat Shellette is a far more
refined and better equipped machine. Featuring a drive-train
capable of comfortably moving the car along at 60mph, it also has
heat and a stereo system. The more luxurious Fiat Shellette was
produced in low numbers - only 80. Of the 80 built one found its
way to Jacqueline Onassis.
This particular car was carefully restored by my neighbor several
years ago and has been enjoyed by his family ever since. Now he is
too old to drive and enjoy it and he would like to find a good new
home for it. In preparation for the sale the car has been fully
serviced including new tires, water pump and tune-up. This vehicle
is exempt from California smog requirements, comes with a clean and
clear California title.
