PLEASE SEND ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER, I WILL BE MORE THAN PLEASED TO CALL YOU IF YOU ARE INTERESTED! THE HISTORY BEHIND THE LEGENDARY CAR........... By the time Ronald Reagan took office as President, in 1981, the Economy was in a Sad State. The World Recession had the U.S. inflation at a record 14% while unemployment hit 7.4%. America filed for a record 1,210,000 divorces...a sure sign of depressive 'down' times. Many folks took refuge in their TV sets: Top Television Shows were "Dallas", "60 Minutes", "The Jefferson" and "m*a*s*h*". Medical costs hit an all-time high, fueled by the coming of AIDS to America and reports of record amounts of cholesterol being gauged. Video arcades popped up all over America and Atari announced the new home game version of what would now be considered 'infantile in comparison: "Asteroids". Sadly, the Federal Communications Commission eased restrictions for radio commercials and now radio stations could air as many commercials as they wanted- no obligation to allocate time for News or Public Service. It gave music fans one more reason to turn of their radios and turn on M.T.V., the new all-music video cable channel that was taking over the Nation by storm. No surprise the immediate Top Hit was the Buggle's "Video Killed The Radio Star" both, on Cable, and Radio. Black Musicians crossed over into the Punk World in releasing new artists like Rick James with "Super Freak" and Prince with "Little Red Corvette" and "Purple Rain". Incredibly Prince would be booed off the stage, opening for the Rolling Stones yet, come back three years later as the Hottest Artist in the Universe. In the news; President Reagan would be wounded by attempted Assassin Mark Hinckley , loved by all, Reagan would later lower income tax by 5% and up to 20% by 1983. Sandra Day O'Connor would be sworn in the US Supreme Court on the basis of supporting the death penalty and abortion rights. On a lighter note. 'Cat fights' on "Dynasty" would win TV raves with massive audiences, 'Raider's of the Lost Ark" would storm the movie box office and Kathleen Turner would stun audiences with her performance in "Body Heat" shot with a low-budget in humid, Lantana Fla. Then, who's to flaw Faye Dunaways performance as Joan Crawford in "Mommie Dearest" ("no more wire hangars... ever!!! "). Horror Genre Films would make a comeback in "Friday the 13th, Halloween Two, and an "American Werewolf in London". Put On your Memory Cap and sing along with the Top Single Hits: "Physical" with Olivia Newton John, "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes, "Endless Love" with Diana Ross, and "Kiss on My List" with Hall and Oates. The again, who could forget "Arthurs Theme" (Best You Can Do") from the Mega-Hit Film "Arthur" with Christopher Cross. 1981 was a Less Than Memorable Year for the Auto Industry. Between ALL the Auto Makers, they only produced 6.2 million cars ..the lowest level in 20 years. Poor General Motors got saddled with recalling 6.4 million cars to replace two lousy bolts in the suspension on all their Cars made from 1978-1981. The Lone Ranger bright spot was Buick .....who after years of 'no convertibles' (made by any manufacturer) offered it's 'new' Riviera Ragtop. It was an immediate success (and now very collectible). You can't relate to popularity, until you go to Italy and see just how popular Fiats are there. The Fiat 124 Spider is, and was, the Most Popular Italian Sports Car Ever. It was popular when it launched, and is even more popular today. It has a staggering amount of enthusiasts who are very proud of this little piece of Italian Engineering. With a Belt-drive, Twin Cam engine under it's belt ....it is a Spirited Performer. Its Coil Spring Rear Suspension and Four Corner Disc Brakes gave it a wonderful Dynamic Refinement not often found at this price level... in fact, no one who has ever driven one will ever forget its Chirpy Character. This handsome body was designed by, no other than, Pininfarina in Italy. The same folks who have penned many a Beautiful Ferrari body (in fact, this car is said to look exactly like the 275 GTS). Its enduring appeal, even when saddled with the cumbersome Federal Style bumpers has always made it the Top Selling model in America. Engine capacity has grown from 1608cc at inception to 1756 in 1972 to the new 2.0 lite engine released in 1979. Production ceased in 1985 but, the car remains so popular.... parts and service are available anywhere in the Country. It's hard not to have fun in this Sporty Two Seater. Fiat even installed a rear seat for Legless Children. Ours is a Super Rare Fuel Injected Model which recvd. the "X" designation and Rarer yet, an Automatic Transmission. A True Collector Item for overseas buyers or for this side of the Pond.
