When it comes to classic cars, there is the official value and the irrational love value in essence. This Fiat is a perfect example.
During the auction held yesterday by Broad Arrow Auctions at the Monterey Jet Center, a small Italian marvel caught everyone’s attention: a 1960 Fiat 600 Jolly. Offered without a reserve price, this rare beach car quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after pieces of the sale, with a final price of $53,200!
The Fiat 600 Jolly is not a classic 500. It embodies the carefree spirit and charm of the 1960s, designed for leisurely drives along the Italian coast or at the chicest beach resorts. Its unique look rests on two immediately recognizable elements: woven wicker seats and a fringed hood, nicknamed the “surrey roof,” which perfectly complements its open and sunny silhouette. These details are not just aesthetic: they symbolize a certain Mediterranean way of life and give the Jolly its unmistakable style that turns heads.
A Fiat at the Price of a Ferrari
Under its bright yellow hood, this Jolly hides a 633 cc four-cylinder engine, slightly more powerful than that of the Fiat 500, sufficient for relaxed seaside drives. Every detail exudes elegance and lightness: from the quality of the materials to the smoothness of the lines, everything in this car evokes pleasure and refinement.
Its rarity largely explains its price. Produced in very limited numbers, the Fiat 600 Jolly remains an extremely sought-after collector’s item, especially in such preserved condition. Seeing it appear on the American market, during an iconic sale like Broad Arrow in Monterey, inevitably attracts the attention of international collectors.
