500 Jolly

Usual

Asking | $100,000 USD rnrnOffered from twelve years of single ownershiprnSaid to have been delivered new to CaliforniarnFiat's iconic beach car; a perfect seaside runaboutrn rnrnThe original Fiat 500's importance to the Italian automobile industry, and Italy itself, in the post-World War II landscape cannot be understated. It put Italians on the road and helped bring Fiat and the Italian automotive industry back to life after the war. Of the model's many variants, perhaps the most beloved is the 500 Jolly. Losing its doors and roof in favor of a surrey top and wicker seats, this was the perfect beachside transport in sunny locales across Europe, and still remains as the perfect port to town and back again transport nearly seventy years later. Powered by a 479 cc two-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed transmission, considering the car's lightweight nature, the Jolly is more than capable of transporting the driver and a few friends to the beach and back in enviable style.rnrnAcquired by the current owner twelve years ago and said to have been delivered new to Los Angeles, it presents incredibly well, with its odometer showing 6,313 miles at the time of cataloguing. Approximately 200 miles have been covered in its current ownership. rnrnArguably one of the cutest cars on four wheels, there's nothing else that will put a smile on the face of drivers, passengers, and passersby like a Fiat Jolly.rnTo view this car and others currently available, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

We already know you're looking at this because you're a fan of the outrageous. So yes, while we call this car a 1948 Fiat 500 Topolino, it's a full custom.  This has the silhouette of a drag racer, an adjustable air ride suspension, an A/C interior, and a 502 cubic-inch fuel-injected big block that's worthy of a superhero (especially from the Wayne family.)   This is a custom fiberglass body that resembles the first-gen Fiat 500 minicar.  There's plenty of fun irony in a vehicle nicknamed Topolino (little mouse) on something so mean.  After all, with the ultra-long hood, big shining motor, and zoomie-style pipes, this will even intimidate Mighty Mouse.  Everything from a BAT to a MAN will likely stay out of its way. But more than just looking powerful, you can see this was a thoughtful build.  The matte black may look like a dark knight, but there's also a very well-coordinated blue.  It's on the grille, rear wing, and full pinstripe kit.  Those who sneak a peek at the chassis will see it on this comprehensive build.  LED headlights, modern alloys, and a license plate bracket on the rear are all there, so it's hard to find a place where this isn't road legal.  After all, being a crime fighter also means following the law.  The whole body lifts like a funny car racer.  There's only one seat, but it's a command position that includes racing belts, toggle switches, a detachable steering wheel, and Stewart Warner Maximum Performance readouts.  One reason for this being a single-seater is to leave room for all the amenities.  This includes an EFI control screen, toggle switches, a sunroof, a backup camera, and adjustable air ride suspension controls. So people may ask, "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"  No matter how many cool features you spot on this custom, the motor will always be the heart of the appeal.  And since it will be the focal point, it has an award-worthy shine.  The custom valve covers announce a massive 502 cubic-inch V8 with electronic fuel injection. Of course, this never goes incognito, thanks to the custom headers that deliver a thunderous roar.  There are less than 2,600 miles on the build, and some may think something this wild might not be built to drive... but take a closer look.  That clean color-coordinated frame is made of boxed solid steel that does a good job of handling the big torque. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is made to be smooth while also handling muscle car level power, and it feeds a stout Ford 9-inch rear.   Plus, you have an independent front suspension, a four-link rear, grippy sport tires, and four-wheel disc brakes.  So while this likely won't be your choice for a daily commuter, there's a confidence here that you don't often get piloting smoothing this powerful.    Complete with build receipts, this is truly a unique build where they took the time to give you substance to go behind the superhero style. Call now!

Lauve, famed GM designer under Harley EarlrnOne of only 14 Ghia Supersonics built on the Fiat 8V chassisrnCherished by the Lauve family until 1991, a remarkable period of long-term ownershiprnBenefits from a beautiful and well-maintained older restoration; ideal for exhibition or touring eventsrnAccompanied by an incredible trove of historical documentation, photographs, and period correspondence with Ghia and Fiat, as well as Harley Earlrn rnrnA DETROIT DESIGNER'S DREAMrnrnTo bring us the cars of our dreams, automotive designers cast their gaze into the future, seeking to predict the next big styling trend-or to invent it. It is always interesting, then, to learn what machines these designers choose as their personal vehicles. rnrnHenry de Segur Lauve, born in New Jersey in 1910, spent his formative years in Europe; by the 1930s, he was working in France as a designer and illustrator for the fashion industry. His career trajectory shifted when, in the late 1930s, he was hired by General Motors, reportedly after interviewing with eventual GM head of design Bill Mitchell. Of course, this meant that Lauve would work under design titan Harley Earl in the pivotal years following World War II-an era in which the American automotive industry was at the height of its power and prestige, when style was evolving at a breakneck pace. By the mid-1950s, Lauve was chief designer of GM's Interior Design Studio.rnrnWhat did Lauve park in the garage of his Art Deco home in fashionable Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan? The answer was no less than the Fiat 8V Supersonic offered here, one of just 14 to wear this stunning Jet Age bodywork by Giovanni Savonuzzi. rnrnEven without a body, the Fiat 8V was a mechanical masterpiece. Dubbed the biggest surprise of the year by Road & Track upon its introduction in 1952, the 8V was a shock coming from a company better-known, at least in the post-war era, for its affordable people's cars. Featuring an advanced overhead-valve light alloy V-8 engine, Siata-fabricated chassis, and four-wheel independent suspension, Fiat always intended the 8V to be a halo offering aimed at privateer racers; 8Vs typically wore relatively simple bodywork that fit right in on a racing circuit. rnrnGhia, however, had other visions for this sophisticated chassis, and it is easy to see why Lauve was smitten with Savonuzzi's glamorous Supersonic: It captured the sky's-the-limit energy and optimism of the GM concepts with which Lauve worked in his day job, yet it had an exotic flair that no doubt appealed to his Continental sensibilities. After witnessing the debut of Supersonic at the 1953 Paris Auto Show, Lauve quickly determined that he needed one of his own. Correspondence on with Ghia notes that, by November of that year, this very car-wearing a white exterior with a blue interior-was en route to America aboard the SS Constitution. rnrnA follow-up letter from Ghia confirmed Lauve's receipt of the car and designated Paul Farago as Lauve's point of contact for any future mechanical necessities. Farago was a Detroit-area designer, a mechanic and engineer, a gentleman racer, and also acted as a key go-between for Chrysler and Carrozzeria Ghia during Chrysler's important Virgil Exner years. He recognized the significance of the Fiat 8V Supersonic and imported an example of his own. rnrnA TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPLANTrnrnFarago's assistance would become invaluable in 1954 when, after 9,000 kilometers of driving, Lauve's 8V developed seemingly insurmountable engine issues. Fascinating correspondence between Lauve and Enrico Minola, a key engineer at Fiat, reveals that the automaker only intended its high-strung, high-maintenance 8V to be used by amateur racing drivers. That Ghia decided to fit a luxurious coupe body to the chassis, and that Lauve had pressed his Supersonic into daily driving duties, was apparently contrary to purpose!rnrnFiat nevertheless agreed to supply a new engine, number 000188, and its ancillary components, on the condition that Mr. Lauve return the original engine, number 000039. Interestingly, that engine was never returned to Fiat and was subsequently fitted to another 8V Supersonic. Although this new engine was dispatched fairly quickly, installation did not go smoothly. A letter on file from September 1956 indicates that the Fiat was still in the shop due in part to a poorly fitting exhaust system. rnrnHere, Harley Earl came to the rescue, and helped Lauve source and install (using Chevrolet personnel) a 283-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8 engine. In a letter dated 17 January 1957, penned while this work was in progress, Earl wrote that It is a cute little automobile and I would like it to be finished so that you can get a kick out of it. Later, Earl took a not-so-subtle shot at Fiat's engineering, writing that Inasmuch as you have the Corvette engine I do not think you will have the headaches that might go along with the foreign type. This period, in which Lauve's little Italian Supersonic sported an American heart, was later recalled by GM designer Robert Cumberford, who enjoyed many memorable high-speed rides in it through the Detroit suburbs. rnrnTHE LAUVE SUPERSONIC'S NEXT CHAPTERSrnrnEngine troubles could not shake Lauve's love for his Supersonic, and he and his family maintained it faithfully longer than almost any other original 8V owner. During their tenure it was refinished in silver, as featured in Tony Adriaensens's book Otto Vu. It was finally sold by the Lauves in 1991 and was later owned in 1994 by Erik Nielsen of California. The car was subsequently restored in this rich garnet-over-tan combination, with a correct 8V engine, no. 000060, tucked under the hood. The work was beautifully detailed, with the color showing off the elaborate curves of the body and fabulous touches such as smoked glass sun visors and Borrani chrome wire wheels. Following this restoration, it was displayed at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. A decade later, it was exhibited at the 2015 Kuwait Concours d'Elegance. rnrnAfter long-term ownership in a prominent Swiss collection, the Supersonic entered a large private collection in America, where it was displayed alongside two other superlative 8Vs; it was acquired by present ownership in 2020. In 2023, it won the Design Award at the Audrain Newport Concours, having been judged by Chip Foose and designers Mike Simcoe (Cadillac) and Ralph Gillies (Fiat Chrysler/Stellantis). It would certainly be suitable for enjoying on vintage rallies, but could also be lightly freshened for happy exhibition at further shows and concours.rnrnThe Fiat 8V was always an exclusive automobile, and by design, they were typically purchased new by interesting individuals who led exciting lives. This is particularly true of the exclusive Ghia-bodied Supersonics. rnrnBut there is something very special about this 8V Supersonic. Acquired new by a respected GM designer from the Detroit auto industry's most dynamic era-and backed by a trove of documentation, including correspondence with the legendary Harley Earl-the Henry S. Lauve Supersonic was, is, and will continue to be a design masterwork, worthy of admiration by its fortunate next caretaker.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 15 - 17 August 2024. rnOffered Without Reserve | $80,000 - $100,000 USD rnrnThe classic Italian beach cruiser in its rare, highly desirable, and more powerful Fiat 600 incarnation rnFully restored by DTR European Sports Cars of Surrey, UK; documented by restoration photosrnComplete with wicker seats, a surrey top with Greek flag motif, and Ferrero two-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheelrnFeatured as a cover story in the August 2015 edition of Classic & Sports Car  rn rnrnPlease note that for registration purposes, this vehicle's UK V5C states its year of declared manufacture as 1959. rnrnWhile the Fiat 500 was designed for the hustle and bustle of European city centers, the Jolly was the passion project of legendary Italian tycoon Gianni Agnelli. Agnelli was the head of the dynasty that owned Fiat, and he wanted the ultimate runabout to load onto his yacht. He commissioned the various design gurus to develop his concept. The Jolly quickly became an icon of La Dolce Vita during Italy's golden era. Agnelli gave a few of these super-chic beach cars away to close friends. Aristotle Onassis had one on his yacht, Lord Rothschild had one at his estate in Corfu, and Lyndon Johnson had one on his Texas ranch.rnrnWith their removable surrey tops, wicker seats, cut-down windshields, and open sides, the Jolly was conceived with summer pleasures in mind. These chic runabouts were very popular with resorts: Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles commissioned 32 of them as taxis.rn rnA variety of Italian carrozzerie worked on Agnelli's concept, with Ghia by far the most successful; 600-700 of these cars are believed to have been built between 1958 and 1966. Most were based on the two-cylinder Fiat 500 but a small number, including the car offered here, used the Fiat 600-which benefited from a more powerful 20-horsepower, 633-cubic-centimeter four-cylinder engine-as a starting point.rnrnThis 600 Jolly was acquired in Monaco in 2012 and sent to marque specialists DTR European Sports Cars of Surrey, United Kingdom, where it was stripped to bare metal in preparation for a complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration. As documented in photos on file, corrosion (as well as some of the crude remnants of Ghia's expedient coachbuilding methods) were cut out and corrected. The trademark wicker seats were refitted, as was a Ferrero two-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel-a period-correct touch, albeit one you might expect to see in an Italian sports car! The bodywork was painted in reflex blue, the color of the Greek Flag; the car was also fitted with a surrey top designed as the Greek flag, and the fully restored car was delivered to the villa of its new owner at the Aman resort in Greece.rn rnIn his 2015 cover story for Classic & Sports Car following this car's restoration, Richard Heseltine concluded: it is impossible not to like the Jolly. It has more character than any supercar, and is more exclusive than most, come to think of it.rnrnThe irresistibility of the Fiat Jolly has led to the creation of tributes and replicas over the years, but genuine, Ghia-built examples have remained rare and highly sought-after the world over. It is, after all, impossible not to like it!To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
