1959 Fiat600Highlights
DescriptionStep back in time to an era when driving was about more than just getting from point A to point B. It was about the journey, the experience, and the simple joy of the open road. The 1959 Fiat 600 epitomizes this sentiment, capturing the hearts of enthusiasts with its unique blend of charm, elegance, and engineering prowess. Under the hood of this beautifully presented example lies a 633cc OHV inline 4-cylinder engine, paired with a single Weber carburetor, producing approximately 30bhp at 4,500rpm. This may sound modest by today's standards, but in a car as lightweight and nimble as the Fiat 600, it translates to a driving experience that is both spirited and delightful. This particular Fiat 600 boasts a 4-speed manual transmission, allowing the driver to fully engage with the car's capabilities and enjoy the thrill of each gear change. The 4-wheel independent suspension ensures a smooth ride, while the 4-wheel drum brakes provide reliable stopping power. It's a car that was designed with both practicality and pleasure in mind, a true testament to Fiat's engineering acumen. One glance at this Fiat 600, and it's clear that it stands out from the crowd. The restoration work on this car has been meticulous, with custom interior finishes that add a touch of modern luxury while maintaining the vehicle's classic appeal. The wood Nardi steering wheel is a focal point of the interior, offering a tactile connection to the car that enhances the driving experience. The checkered flag painted roof adds a dash of whimsy and racing spirit, a nod to the car's playful nature. The exterior is complemented by the factory suicide doors, a design element that harks back to a bygone era of automotive design. The white wall tires not only provide a smooth ride but also enhance the car's vintage aesthetic. Each element of this Fiat 600 has been carefully considered and executed, making it one of the most elegant 600s you'll ever see. Imported to the United States by its second owner in the 1970s, this Fiat 600 has a storied history that includes being showcased at the prestigious Greenwich Concours d'Elegance. It's a car that has been admired and appreciated by automotive aficionados and casual admirers alike. The original Fiat tool kit and spare tire are included, underscoring the car's authenticity and the care that has been taken to preserve its original charm.
