No Reserve: 1955 Fiat 600

Offered here with no reserve is a 1955 Fiat 600—an early example from the model’s debut year, finished in gray over a red vinyl interior. As Fiat’s first rear-engined car, the 600 helped transform postwar transportation in Europe, offering compact dimensions with room for four. This car features early design cues like rear-hinged doors, sliding side windows, and a vented rear engine cover. Originally delivered in Italy, it later spent time in the U.S. before being imported to Canada by the selling dealer.

The car rides on ivory-painted 12″ steel wheels wrapped in period-style whitewall tires, with a full-size spare tucked away in the front trunk. Suspension consists of a transverse leaf spring setup up front and coil-sprung semi-trailing arms in the rear, while braking is managed by four-wheel drums. Inside, the cabin sports red vinyl upholstery with white piping, matching door panels, and rubber floor coverings. An ivory-colored steering wheel sits ahead of a 110-km/h speedometer, which is currently inoperative. The five-digit odometer shows 60k kilometers (~37k miles), though actual mileage is unknown.

Power comes from a water-cooled 633cc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, sending power to the rear wheels. The selling dealer notes that both the fuel pump and water pump were replaced in Italy prior to export. With its clean design, unmistakable proportions, and early production status, this Fiat 600 captures the charm of midcentury European motoring and is being sold without reserve.
