The Fiat 750 Berlinetta Moretti designed by Michelotti.
The Fiat 750 Berlinetta Moretti, unveiled in 1961, exemplifies Italian automotive craftsmanship. Based on the Fiat 600 D, this model was crafted by the renowned designer Giovanni Michelotti, who successfully created two distinct versions—one for Moretti and another for Vignale. Despite sharing some common components, such as the rear windows to reduce production costs, each version retained its unique and recognizable character. Moretti expanded the 750 line to include a coupé and a spider, the latter of which could be equipped with a hardtop. During its production run, which saw around fifty units made, two series of the 750 Moretti were produced. From 1963, the model featured a faux aluminum grille on the nose, adding a modern touch to its classic design. Built on Fiat 600 mechanicals, the 750 Berlinetta was not only visually appealing but also technically refined. It boasted a tuned engine that produced 41 bhp—12 horsepower more than the standard Fiat 600. This enhancement provided a spirited driving experience, complementing the car’s sophisticated exterior. The interior of the Fiat 750 Berlinetta Moretti mirrored its high-end aspirations. The cabin featured elegant Jaeger instruments and plush dark red upholstery, which contrasted beautifully with the grey exterior. These refined touches elevated the car’s humble origins, transforming it into a symbol of luxury and style.
Moretti Motor Company was founded in 1925 by Giovanni Moretti in order to design and build motorcycles, both of his own design and with agreements with other companies. Using the same motorcycle engines, Giovanni Moretti also dabbled in microcars in the late 1920s and early 1930s…
