Frequently Asked Questions about Classic Fiat

Fiat stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, which translates as Italian Automobile Factory of Turin. The company was established in Turin, Italy, on July 11, 1899, by a group of investors that included Giovanni Agnelli, who came to lead it. Its first model was the 3½ HP, and the first Fiat factory opened on Corso Dante in Turin in 1900.

Fiat is a brand of Stellantis, the automaker created when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles merged with the French Groupe PSA, a deal that took effect on January 16, 2021. Fiat had formed a partnership with Chrysler in 2009, and the old Fiat S.p.A. was merged into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles on October 12, 2014. That group's other marques included Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Maserati.

Classic Fiats were built mainly in Turin, Italy. The five-story Lingotto factory, designed by Giacomo Matté-Trucco, officially opened on May 22, 1923, and had a test track on its roof. The Mirafiori plant opened on May 15, 1939, and went on to build models including the 500, 600 and 124. Lingotto closed as a car factory in 1982 and was later converted into shops, offices, hotels and an art gallery.

Fiat withdrew from the US market in the early 1980s, and sources give either 1983 or 1984 as the year. WardsAuto attributed the exit to poor sales and owner complaints about repairs. The Spider remained available in the United States under the Pininfarina name until production ended in 1985. Fiat returned in 2011 with the modern 500, after forming its partnership with Chrysler in 2009.

The Fiat 124 Sport Spider was styled by Tom Tjaarda at Pininfarina and unveiled at the Turin show in late 1966. It rode on a shortened Fiat 124 platform and used a twin-cam four-cylinder engine developed under former Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi. Nearly 200,000 were built through 1985, most of them for the United States. In its last years Pininfarina sold the car under its own name, as the Spider Azzurra in America.

Specialist guides treat rust as the main thing to check on a Fiat 124 Spider. Hagerty's buyer's guide found no particular weak spots beyond the usual problems of roadsters from the period, and listed the sills, floorpans, wheel arches and front suspension crossmember among the areas to inspect for corrosion. Classic Motorsports advised asking when the timing belt was last replaced, because a broken belt can damage the twin-cam engine, and checking the front shock towers for rust.

They were two different cars that shared the 500 name. The original Fiat 500, nicknamed Topolino, Italian for little mouse and also the Italian name for Mickey Mouse, was built from 1936 to 1955 with a 569 cc four-cylinder engine at the front driving the rear wheels. The Nuova 500, launched in 1957, was a rear-engined car with a 479 cc air-cooled two-cylinder engine, and it stayed in production until 1975. Engineer Dante Giacosa worked on both.

Abarth began as an independent tuning and racing company that based many of its cars on Fiat models, and Fiat took full ownership of it in 1971. Carlo Abarth founded Abarth & C. on March 31, 1949, and chose the scorpion badge because Scorpio was his astrological sign. The firm became known for performance exhausts and tuned Fiats, including versions of the 500, and later served as Fiat's racing department.

The 32 Fiat listings on Classic Cars Arena right now are priced from $5,995 to $66,995, with a median asking price of $19,745. These are the prices sellers are asking today, not sale prices, and the figures change as cars are listed and sold.
