What sort of high-end cars did Fiat boss and fashion icon Gianni Agnelli have in his collection? This Fiat 500 of course, one of two created by noted Italian automotive designer Felice Mario Boano.
For those curious, where did the other Fiat 500 designed by Boano go? Greek and Argentine business magnate Aristotle Onassis, who is best known for marrying Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of President John F. Kennedy. Angelli’s Fiat, however, is thought to be the only surviving example.
Agnelli used his Fiat 500 to entertain friends. Being highly fashionable, the car appeared in Vogue magazine, and, according to the seller, “sparked a trend for beach cars and jollies.”
Find this 1958 Fiat 500 Spiaggina Boano up for auction at RM Sotheby’s, with an estimated value of $295,000-$315,000.
