The Fiat 60 HP was introduced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat in 1904 to meet the demand of very rich export markets, including the USA.
Designed to a high standard of luxury in every detail, it was welcomed by American coachbuilders such as Quimby and Demarest. To facilitate their work, this car was offered with 2 different wheelbases, normal and long.
It was originally equipped with a 4-cylinder engine block (60 HP) which was later replaced with a bi-tri-6-cylinder engine block (65 HP) and was manufactured at the plant in Corso Dante. It was the tallest car ever made.

Famous quotes containing the word fiat:
“Then for the Style; Majestick and Divine,
It speaks no less than God in every Line:
Commanding words; whose Force is still the same
As the first Fiat that produc’d our Frame.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
