1963 Fiat 600 D

Description

Initially launched in 1955, the 600 D was a first for Fiat with its all-new unibody construction and rear-engine design. This design bestowed the little fastback sedan with ample interior space for four adults while offering improved traction. At just over ten and a half feet long and a small price to match, this Fiat was positioned in the market to be the perfect family car to get the Italian population on the move. Today, the Fiat 600 is a fantastic gateway into period motoring and an ideal way to experience a real piece of vintage Italian lifestyle - even if the busy streets of Milan or rural vineyards of Campania are an ocean away.
