Moretti 750 Giardiniera Taxi

Automobiles

The Moretti 750 Giardiniera Taxi, which the text of its carrozzieri-italiani.com listing calls the Moretti 750 Giardinetta, was a small estate-style car that Moretti coachbuilt in 1958. The listing says the design aimed to maximise interior space while staying light and agile, with a pressed steel body, a 750 cc inline-four engine, a rear-engine layout and independent front suspension, and that it was built in limited numbers. It adds that documentation shows the model was also used as a taxi, which is why the site files it under the Taxi name. The listing records surviving examples in private collections and institutional archives, and ties the car to a 1958 show event. Moretti made other 750 models, among them the Tour du Monde Spider, and the plain Moretti 750 has its own entry here, so this one stands for the Giardiniera body only.
