One of my neighbours had one when I was a kid, (yes it was a FIAT
Thanks for saving my butt Dave.
I know a Fiat when I see it on the horn button.
Had a few other weird cars:
Crosley.
American Bantam
Singer
Sunbeam Station Wagon
Willis
39 Mercury Convertible
61 Morgan with the Maple Covered Frame
56 Mercedes 190 SL
1/2 Dozen Chevy trucks with the corner windows
1965 Corvair Coupe, 110 HP auto with Factory Air (my sons first car,
lasted him almost 90 days, but I drove it for ten years before).
1966 Corvair Coupe, 180 Horse Turbo (couldn't keep a clutch in it)
71 MG Midget great fun car, brakes were dangerous.
New 58 Volvo P544 ?
Several 32 Ford Coupes
56 VW with the split rear windows
Several dune buggies
28 Ford Roadster with Boxed Frame
365 Horse 327 Corvette L82 I believe
1989 Jaguar VanDenPlas with a always leaking rear main bearing seal.
Then the heavy metal starts with:
A fuel roadster (worlds record with a 301 Chevy, Enderly injectors)
Driver Kenny Burnstein
AA fuel roadster (2) (1 it became the AA when we stuck a blower on it.)
Driver Kenny Burnstein
AA fuel dragster (4) Driver Kenny Burnstein
AA fuel funny cars (3) Woody Gilmores Praying Mantis frame on one of
them. Driver Kenny Burnstein
Kenny sure broke a lot of parts.
