The word “beach” can be a fabulous adjective, revealing a fun and laid-back side. Consider a typical house versus a beach house. Or volleyball and beach volleyball. Which sounds like a more delicious read: a book or a beach book? And then there is the beach… car.

Yes, that last one does exist — and you’re looking at it. Meet the Fiat Jolly. Few vehicles exude a sun-kissed island flair quite like the doorless Jolly, a vintage classic from the late Fifties and Sixties made by Italian design firm Ghia reportedly at the behest of jet-set icon Gianni Agnelli. Some versions, like the 1965 one here, feature wicker seating and a fringed surrey top. Even the colors mostly keep to a breezy vacation mode with pretty candy and pastel colors. Jolly indeed.
