The
Fiat 600 is a city car produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from
1955 to 1969. Measuring only 3.22 m (126 in) long, it was the first
rear-engined Fiat and cost the equivalent of about € 6,700
or US$ 7300 in today's money (590,000 lira then). The total number
produced from 1955 to 1969 at the Mirafiori plant was 2,604,000.
During 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, the car became very popular in countries
such as Spain (as SEAT 600), where it became the icon par excellence
of the Spanish miracle, Argentina, where it was nicknamed Fitito
(a diminutive of Fiat) and Former Yugoslavia where it was nicknamed
Fic'a (pronunced [fee-cha]).
