Fiat 850 Shellette by Carrozzeria Michelotti One of 80 produced - approximately 12-15 estimated to remain worldwide. This is a slightly more modern update to the classic Fiat Jolly. Yacht designer Phillip Schell commissioned Giovanni Michelotti to design a more stylish shoreline runabout with wicker seats and dashboard. Built for movers and shakers / movie stars / playboys and usually seen shuttling partiers from their yachts to the beach on the Riviera. Jackie Onassis and Phillippe Starck both owned one, and there is an example on display at the Petersen Museum. Not many survived all those fun times and salt air. There are only a handful in the US. This is an unrestored but solid barn find from Texas. Needs a complete restoration. I had a quote to restore the wicker seats and dash for under $3000, so that isn’t a big hurdle. The car is very simple, and restoration should be straightforward. No doors, minimal chrome, only one piece of glass, simple interior. Mechanically all standard Fiat 850 parts, which are readily available and cheap. Original color was blue and white just like the restored example shown. Price is $30,000 which is most likely the cheapest one available anywhere. I am also letting go of my genuine Fiat 600 Jolly by Ghia, which was originally a taxi on Catalina Island. Located near Santa Barbara, CA. Please inquire for details.
