Classic 5/5 car - looks awesome at 5 m.p.h and 5 ft. away. New Tires, efurbished wheels. All original badges. Hell, hat am I talking about. It's beautiful to walk around and look at it. Very clean, ll original. This car has displayed in Italian concourse (static) and of many Fiats shown, his one is inevitably singular and garners much attention (all you find are 124's).
