The Fiat 600

The Fiat 600 is a rear-engine, water-cooled city car, manufactured and marketed by Fiat from 1955 to 1969 — offered in two-door fastback sedan and four-door mini MPV body styles.

The 1955 Fiat 600 formed the blueprint for the 2nd generation “Nuova” (New) 500, launched two years later – which was even smaller, at 2.97 m (9 ft 9 in) and, although rounder, largely copied the 600s layout and shape. Later, the 600 also formed the platform for the larger 850 saloon, launched in 1964, which coexisted with the 600 in Fiats line-up for five years, until the 600 was cancelled.

During the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, many units were built in countries such as Spain (as SEAT 600), where it became the icon of the Spanish miracle and where it was nicknamed Seiscientos; Argentina, where it was nicknamed Fitito (a diminutive of FIAT) and former Yugoslavia where it was nicknamed Fića or Fićo (pronounced [fee-cha] and [fee-cho] respectively). Much of the 1974’s SEAT / Fiat 133 platform can even be traced back to the Fiat 600.

797,319 SEAT 600 were made. The Spanish car maker exported them to a number of countries worldwide.

SEAT produced various derivatives of the original 600 model some of them with improvements and special fittings like the use of “suicide doors”: the SEAT 600 D/E/L Especial an luxury version, the ‘Descapotable’ cabriolet, the ‘Formicheta’ commercial version, the ‘Múltiple’, the ‘Savio’, the ‘Playera’, etc.

The most interesting version produced between 1964 and 1967 by SEAT is the SEAT 800, the sole four-door derivative of the 600 model which received a longer wheelbase. It was developed in-house by SEAT and produced exclusively by the Spanish car maker without any equivalent model in Fiat’s range.

In addition, in Spain many car bodybuilders or companies associated with SEAT, manufactured several versions derived from the 600: ?750 Primavera’, ‘Rany’, ‘Milton’, ‘Serra’, ‘Gredos’, ‘Avia 50’, ‘Buggy’, ‘Siata Minivan’, ‘Siata Tarraca’, etc.

The SEAT 600 was the most popular car in Spain of the twentieth century, because it was the first car that any Spaniard could buy and served to definitively motorize the country. It is a fundamental element of the well-known “Spanish miracle”, the great industrial development that occurred in the 60s during the Government of General Franco. This great development transformed the country from an agriculture-based economy to the eighth industrial power in the world. The 1972 Fiat 600 is best for you!
