A lot of history surrounds Italy’s Fiat automobiles, which have been around since the first Fiat 4 HP was made in 1899.
Fiat also builds vehicles in Poland, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. The company has had some ups and downs. They built a new plant in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1910, when owning a Fiat was a real status symbol. A Fiat cost about $4,000 initially but increased to $6,400 by 1918. For comparison, a Ford Model T for that same period cost $825, decreasing to $525 .
This issue’s featured vehicle is a 1961 Fiat 500 F owned by Angelo Dalo, a true Italian. You wouldn’t believe it by looking at the car, but Dalo said the model was sold in Italy as a five-passenger vehicle . He owns two Italian restaurants, Agrodolce in Berkeley engine with a four-speed manual transmission, and it is completely stock,” Dalo said. “It was repainted about eight years ago, and the red vinyl interior is brand-new.
“I have five or six of them. One is always being sold, and one is aways being acquired,” he said. “They’re tiny in size, so they’re easy to store. They aren’t worth much, so if they get messed up, it’s not a major problem.”
