The Fiat Seicentouring.
The Fiat Seicentouring was the elaborated version of the Fiat 600 offered by the prestigious Milanese coachbuilder Touring. Introduced in 1955 with a price of 800,000 Lire (30.000€), it was one of the most expensive elaborated versions of the Fiat 600 available at the time. This version featured additional accessories aimed at enhancing both the aesthetics and performance of the vehicle. The Fiat Seicentouring boasted a paint job with metallic enamels on the roof up to the beltline and on the wheels, giving it a distinctive and glossy appearance. A chrome grille on the front added an elegant touch, while two rectangular turn signals placed under the headlights improved visibility and sporty appeal. Bumper rostri, three moldings on the hood and front fenders, and chrome rain gutters further emphasized the sophisticated design of the car. Faux air intake vents, door sill trim, and a molding that extended from the front fender to the door enhanced the overall aesthetic profile. Spoked wheel covers and shiny profiles around the windshield and windows completed the exterior look. Inside, the Fiat Seicentouring featured equally refined interiors with colored cloth and flex covers, door sill plates, and a chrome knob on the gear lever that reflected attention to detail and cabin comfort. A passenger handle on the dashboard, light switch with indicators, and windshield washer were additional features that enhanced the driving experience and onboard comfort. The Fiat Seicentouring represented the pinnacle of Touring’s craftsmanship, blending distinctive design with superior performance and comfort. It stood as a coveted choice for those seeking a Fiat 600 elaborated with style and class.
The Fiat 600 was undoubtedly the car that accompanied Italy through the economic boom. When it was presented it was very popular thanks to its modern lines, the brilliant engine and a cockpit large enough to fit the whole family. The demand for the 600 was so high that Fiat was unable to meet the waiting times, so that many relied on the coachbuilders in order to get its small family car sooner, even at the cost of a higher price.
