Damn! That’s a cool looking Beach Buggy.

BEACH BUGGY with the jaunty look is for vacation fun, another design by the imaginative Giovanni Michelotti. It is Vignale-built on Fiat Multipla chassis.

3. As a note: it’s really too bad that the struts on the back end of that future-iffic roof had to be installed. I don’t imagine that they were in the original drawing.

5. That’s certainly cuter than hell, in a sort of customized Monkeemobile fashion, but a “beach buggy”?

   For one thing, where’s the specialized tires and suspension for driving in sand without being immediately stuck and buried up to the axles?

6. The Multipla was such an innovative vehicle – the original minivan.
