Description

1958 Fiat 500 Jolly Ghia Speciale, 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 your chance to own a real historic collectible.
Short History. 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.
You have to find a Jolly so you too can own one of these classic collectibles, you can restore it yourself or have it professionally restored and ready for your beach house or private collection.
Serious inquiries only please. I can take more pics if needed. Sale will be Bill of Sale in Georgia.
