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.
