Well it was that “looked great” thing for me (I was 16) lol. It’s a good thing my dad was a firm no then, sounds like Fiat was crap quality overall. I ended up with a VW Super Beetle which was a great car. Back then (mid-70’s) gas was .50 a gallon and I could put around $3.00 in it and go a week. The good old days.

Even then, did you have one of those “this car runs on gas not friendship” signs?
I don’t know why, but your post reminded me of those — I think they started appearing when gas started getting up to *gasp* 60 cents a gallon!
