The ultimate italian coachbuilder site
The 600 was launched at the Geneva Motor Show on March the 10th, 1955.
This Fiat 600 Carrozzerie Speciali was registered on May the 4th of the same year, and therefore it is among the very first produced. It is in fact a very rare first series, with sliding side windows. What makes it even more special is the fact that it is one of the very few which were customized by Fiat’s inhouse coachbuilder “Carrozzerie Speciali”, where it received a duo-tone paint and a host of accessories, like foglamps and window deflectors.
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.
