History Lesson ...

Postby Frog2Spider » Sun Mar 26, 2017 11:35 pm

Has anyone ever heard/seen a 1953 Fiat V8 Supersonic?

Google image, if not. Very cool looking car! Non-production, prototype only, but I read 5 were build and all are still accountable. One just sold for $160,000.

AFAIK, they called it a 8V, not V8. They thought Ford had a copyright on V8
1979 Fiat Spider (since new)
2005 Lincoln LS (the wife's car)
2003 Chevrolet Cavalier (daily driver)
1999 Honda Shadow VLX 600
1972 Grumman Traveller 5895L (long gone).

They have a silver version at the Peterson Auto Museum here in LA. It really looks great and it is (by far) the nicest FIAT I've ever seen in person. When I was there last year, they had it displayed in a room filled with only silver cars. If you ever get a chance, the museum is really nice, and make sure you check out the FIAT.
