The Fiat 600 Spider Vignale.
In September 1960, Fiat unveiled the 600 D, igniting a fresh wave of interest in small, custom-built automobiles produced by Vignale. This heralded the advent of the “Vignaline” series, which swiftly gained widespread acclaim in both the Italian and German automotive markets. Buoyed by this success, Vignale continued its innovative streak with the introduction of the 850 series. This new lineup comprised a Coupé, a Spider and a Berlina, each meticulously crafted to exemplify Vignale’s commitment to quality and style. This ongoing collaboration between Fiat and Vignale not only propelled the popularity of these compact vehicles but also cemented Vignale’s reputation as a premier provider of bespoke automotive solutions.
The story of Carrozzeria Vignale represents one of the many somewhat forgotten success stories born against the backdrop of an Italy that was torn apart by the Second World War and which, starting from the end of the 1950s, was able to recover enough to know a real miracle. economical just a few years later.
