Description of 1958 Fiat 500

1958 Fiat 500, most parts off of this car are parts needed to restore a Jolly,this car has been in storage since 1969. I'm not sure how many 58's were made but I'm sure they are like looking for hens teeth now.
This is Not A Jolly, it is a parts car that has parts that could be used to restore a Jolly.
Short History of the Jolly. The Jolly was a tiny buggy built under contract by Ghia, the Italian design studio and coachbuilder, in 1958-66. With its bulbous shape, doorless sides, removable surrey top, wicker seats and pastel color palette, the Jolly looks more like an amusement-park ride than a road-legal car. Beach goers loved these cars, they were perfect for the sea shore.
But collectors are taking “beach cars” like the Jolly seriously indeed, as demonstrated by the $110,000 paid for a 1958 model at an RM Auctions sale in March at Amelia Island, Fla.
Not all Jollys stayed by the seashore. President Lyndon B. Johnson had one at his Texas ranch. And on Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles, a small fleet of Jollys served as taxis into the early 1960s. Some of those cars eventually landed in Newport Beach and on islands in the area.
If you have a Jolly or other 58 Fiat 500 you are restoring this could be a goldmine of extra parts for your restoration project. As you can see from the pictures this car is nearly complete.
Serious inquiries only please. I can take more pics if needed. Sale will be Bill of Sale in Georgia.
