The story of Fiat Automobiles dates back to 1899, when the company’s founder, Giuseppe Giovanni Agnoletti, opened a small engine and bicycle parts factory. The first Fiat was exported to the U.S. in 1908, and a plant in New York started making Fiats, including the Fiat 60 H.P. and Fiat 16-20 H.P. in 1909. In the 1960s, Fiat began producing more luxurious cars and expanded its operations outside Italy through international joint ventures.
In the early 2000s, Fiat had financial trouble in the U.S. market. In 2001, the company was bought by the Italian investment firm Investindustrial, which brought the company back from the brink of bankruptcy. Things improved somewhat in 2003 when the company introduced the 500, both a sales and critical success. This model started a new era for Fiat, which has since expanded its operations in the U.S. with a range of products.
The 500 was introduced in 1957 as a successor to the 1100 model. The new model was designed to compete with the Mini and the Volkswagen Beetle. The 500 was the first model produced in the newly established Eastern Fiat plant in North America and was produced alongside the Fiat 600. The last 500 was produced in Italy in 1974, which served as the basis for the related Abarth model.
In 2015, Fiat introduced the smaller 500X crossover SUV crossover model. The 500X was built alongside the 500 in the company’s Brampton, Ontario, factory. The 500X is available with both a four-cylinder engine and a V-6 engine. The 500X is also one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles to come from Fiat, which makes it a popular choice among consumers.
The 124 Spider is a sports car that was first introduced in 1966. It is perhaps the most famous Fiat model, but it is also the rarest of the models produced by the company. The 124 Spider was developed to compete with the BMW 2002. The 124 Spider is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe. The car’s body is made of fiberglass, although it can also be ordered with a steel body. The 124 Spider can seat two people but was also offered as a convertible.
