Had a 124 Spider for many years(15) of dependable service.




In rust prone Pennsylvania you could expect to go through about 8 - 10 124 Spiders in that time period - regardless of engine condition.

I worked at a Fiat dealership during high school. I loved those little buggers - all of them, the 850 Spider even the 128 sedans. The 124 Spider was the top of the hill for me though.

Those things would arrive with a thick coat of cosmoline (sp?) apparently to keep the salt sea breeze from rotting them away before they got to port. We would soak and scrub them in kerosene to get it off. What memories.
