1960 Fiat 600 Jolly & 1958 Fiat 600 Multipla
A matched pair of restored Italian microcars — a 1960 Fiat 600 Jolly and a 1958 Fiat 600 Multipla — offered together by a California-based collector of coachbuilt and unusual Fiats. Both were refinished in matching Salmon livery with cream wheels and fitted with a surf-themed presentation. The Jolly, a rare 600-chassis variant built by Ghia, and the Multipla, an early precursor to the modern passenger van, each received comprehensive no-expense-spared restorations by a West Coast microcar specialist, including full engine rebuilds.
