Jay Leno Drives the World’s Rarest Fiat 600 Minivans

It’s not just modern minivans that offer cool features. Mercedes once made one with 500 hp, and Toyota had a mid-engine supercharged minivan. And decades before the 500L and 500X, Fiat even had one, the 600 Multipla. While it didn’t have sliding doors, it was used as the base for some delightfully charming classic cars. …
