As the successor to the 1100, Fiat's 1200 series debuted in November 1957 at the Turin Motor Show.

The two-model 1200 series was available in Granluce saloon and open Cabriolet form with a Turismo Veloce (fast touring) saloon available as well.

In particular, the Spider featured sensuous bodywork with its design largely influenced by Fabio Luigi Rapi, Fiat's design director.

A restyled convertible appeared for 1959 with a sleek new Pininfarina designed body with styling quite similar to that of Ferrari's contemporary 250GTPF coupés, especially with the optional hardtop installed.

Wind-up windows and swivelling seats remained standard while the new split mesh-patterned grille incorporated angled sides, recalling the prior Rapi designed Spiders of 1957 and 1958.

Alternatively known as either the 1200 Cabriolet or the 1200 Spider, these handsome cars were built by Fiat's Vetture Speciali (special cars) unit.
