This Fiat 600 Multipla got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1959 Fiat 600 Multipla is said to have spent time in Nevada prior to the late owner’s acquisition in 1995, and a subsequent refurbishment was completed in 2003. The car is finished in light blue with a cream roof and is powered by a replacement 960cc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include two-tone upholstery, an Abarth exhaust system, an alternator, US-market lighting, rear-hinged front doors, flat-folding seats, and an under-dash-mounted spare tire. This 600 Multipla is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment as part of the Stoddard Collection with manufacturer’s literature, tools, workshop manuals, refurbishment photos, a handwritten service log, and an Ohio title.

Features include chrome bumpers with overriders, US-market lighting, a louvered engine cover, sliding rear passenger door windows, rear-hinged front doors, and a chrome front grille. Cracks in the windshield seal can be seen in the gallery below.
