Special Mention
Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Peugeot and AMC:
These are cars we fondly remember as rolling boat payments. We’d see them coming into the shop — usually on the back end of a tow truck — and we’d know it would be a good month. Unfortunately, these manufacturers are now on our fecal roster because they’ve pulled out of the U.S. market. Fiat and Alfa may come back in the next few years, even if they have to sneak in disguised as Chryslers. We just hope they haven’t improved too much.<<
I had a Fiat X-1/9. Properly named “Fix It Again Tony.”
That's one of those cars you need to have two of...one to drive and one for the shop...Lazy Susan Cars.
Now that's a blast from the past. I wanted one of those so bad (my first car)...Seems like the one I wanted was around $5000? Anyway, my dad refused to allow me to have one.
So ...they were crappy cars?
“Fiat and Alfa may come back in the next few years”
Complete with long chain and advertised as an improved anchor!
Sorry, still have my Fiat 124 Spyder. Bought it off the showroom floor in May, 1977. Still runs, still looks good, and easy to fix.
