Re: Bill Stephenson's Awesome Fun Car!
-----Thanks all, for all the great comments. Eric, thats an almost a universal response by women. Due to the Jollys rust prone nature though you can tell her you will most likely never find one for her. I tried telling Jan that but she is the most persistent person I have ever known and just wouldnt give up. You can imagine how a car with no way to make it weather tight and a rubber floor-mat might have rust problems. Water finds its way under the rubber and just sits there until it finds a way (rust hole) out! Jans Jolly is actually the only one of these rare little beasties I have ever seen that is totally rust free original sheetmetal. For a while Jan was thinking "pink". Thank God she changed her mind as it is just about the gayest car on earth anyway. The thing I have always laughed about is the windshield wipers,,,,,,WHY????........Bill S

Re: Bill Stephenson's Awesome Fun Car!
Do you have to check that when traveling or will it fit in the overhead compartment? |

Re: Bill Stephenson's Awesome Fun Car!
------Cool find, Eric. Thats actually a 600 Fiat Jolly (600cc). It has a 4 cyl. water cooled motor. Jans powerhouse is a 500 Jolly(500cc). Two fewer pistons and air-cooled. I kind of like the 500 as when winter rears its ugly head I just roll the sucker into a corner and disconnect the battery. No radiator cap in sight and no problems with anti-freeze for once........Bill S

Re: Bill Stephenson's Awesome Fun Car!
That's awesome, Bill! And I figured I was the only one on this site that has a weak spot for "cute" little cars. My Son and I have two early 70's Honda N600s. Though not quite as cute as a Jolly, they get the same response!
