This 500 C Belvedere was featured in the british magazine "AutoItalia" february 2013 by Graham Earl. It looks like a factory built car, but only this one is known. He mentions two other excisting similar cars, but they were not professionally built like this. The car has been in a museum, but no certain history is known

I don't want to be always the one that says when Italian cars are modern fakes, so I don't investigate on this one. But one thing is sure: this is not a factory-built car.

so Als, what do you think about this and many others Fiat 500 C "Jolly"?

I'm sure that Fiat never made them, except perhaps a couple of special cars for a Fiera del Levante show in Bari.
Some are later adaptations (don't forget that the Jolly trend was born in the late '50s, when the 500 C was no longer in production) and some are even modern fakes.
Another point is that I never got any information about period conversions (I mean, a period ad or magazine feature). Of course, this doesn't assure that they were never made in the 50s. But, before seeing a period document, I continue to be skeptic...

thank you.
Is it possible to see a picture of the vehicles made for the "Fiera di Levante"?
