Fiat 500 Moretti Coupe

The Fiat 500 Moretti Coupe is a small two-seat coupé with its engine at the rear and drive to the rear wheels, built by the Moretti Motor Company from 1961 to 1969 on the chassis and engine of the Fiat 500. It began as a prototype shown at the 1960 Turin Auto Show, and hand-built production followed in 1961. Giovanni Michelotti designed both the prototype and the production car, which had a longer, less curved roof line and a flatter front end than the show car. In 1965 the coupé moved from the Fiat 500 D chassis to the 500 F chassis. A higher-end variant called the 595 SS was added in 1966 with an uprated engine of 28 PS, extra dashboard gauges for engine speed and oil pressure and a modified exhaust system.
