To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Fiat 500 Spiaggina the full name 500 Jolly Spaiggina, the Italian brand introduced, based on the current 500, two tributes to the model of vacationers. One in the form of a curious prototype – the creation of Garage Italia and Pininfarina – and the other in the form of a special series of the Fiat 500C.

The Fiat 500 Jolly Spiaggina – which can be translated into something similar to a beach buggy – appeared in 1958, exactly one year after the first 500, and would be the first special series of the iconic model. It was more than a Fiat 500 convertible – in addition to not having a hardtop, there were no doors, the seats were wicker, and what we could Calling the roof, it was more than an awning to protect from the sun. 19659003] The 500 Spiaggina was produced between 1958 and 1965 by the Carrozzeria Ghia, and will win a second variant, based on Giardiniera, the 500 van. It cost twice the normal 500, but kept the same air-cooled cooling of 22 hp. He eventually gained a preference for some of the most influential personalities of the time, whether it's industry moguls like Aristotle Onassis, movie stars like Yul Brynner or even leaders of nations like Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States.

In Fiat's double tribute to 500 Spiaggina, the proposal of Garage Italia and Pininfarina gets our vote. The modern reinterpretation of the concept has given birth to a Fiat 500 with only two seats, no roof or windshield worthy of the name – Garage Italia calls it the windshield nautical. In charge of Pininfarina was the roll-bar and the structural reinforcements needed to ensure sufficient levels of rigidity of the 500 Spiaggina.

the rear seats become a cargo area, lined with cork, with a pattern reminiscent of teak found on luxury yachts. Even access to the suitcase is distinctive, with the Spiaggina 500 looking like a mini pickup. Also the two front seats have not remained unscathed, resembling a bench seat, evoking typical solutions from the 1960s.

The nostalgic feeling is enhanced by the chromatic combination of Volare blue and pearl white, which also matches with the 39, interior, topped with a series of chrome elements.
