- "600" can also refer to the later Fiat Seicento
The Fiat 600 (or "Seicento") was a small (3.22 metre) automobile available as a hatchback produced from 1955 to 1969. The top speed ranged from 95 kilometres per hour empty with the 663 cubic centimetre engine to 110 kilometres per hour with the 767 cubic centimetre version. The car had good ventilation and defrosting systems. It was the first rear-engine Fiat and cost the equivalent of about 6,700 euros (590,000 lira then).
A year after its debut, in 1956, a soft-top version was introduced, as well as a six-seater variant — the Fiat 600 Multipla. It would now be termed a people carrier.
During 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, the car became very popular in countries such as Argentina, where people call it Fitito. The Soviets copied this car as the Zaporozhets ZAZ-965, produced from 1960 to 1963, as Spain during fascism did with the SEAT 600.
The total number produced from 1955 to 1969 at the Mirafiori plant was 2,604,000.
The Jolly
In 1959 Fiat shipped 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wicker seats and the option of a fringed top to shield its occupants from the Mediterranean sun, these cars were originally made for use on large yachts of the wealthy (Aristotle Onasis owned one). With a cost of nearly double that of a standard "600", they were made in a very limited production. It is believed that fewer than 100 exist today, each one being unique.
