Can anyone identify the blue-black hardtop (fixed head coupe) behind the red Simca off to the side? Is it some iteration of Lancia?

(three kids in the backseat of the 850! That's a dad who has no intention of quitting his sporting life!)

I think the dark blue car is a late 60's Fiat 124 Sport Coupe.

And another yellow 124 Sport Coupe behind it and a yellow 124 Spider behind it, maybe?

A Simca? Isn't that a red Fiat 128?

Looks to me that it might be a Fiat 124 sedan. Perhaps a meeting of the local Fiat 124 Club? Or maybe just the Fiat Owners Club? There is a "Customer Parking" sign on the building, perhaps a family picking up their new Fiat at a dealer?

It is. My first car, bought from my dad, was a 1969 124 Sport Coupe. A car I wish I still had.

Great little car and the engine is as sweet as a nut. I owned a 72 Fiat 500 and that car was a lot of fun.

This was the one to have. Not many made and very few good ones left.

1974 Lancia Fulvia.

The spyder, not spider.............what's the history on the spelling?

Why not cabriolet?

Why not convertible?

I first spelled it Spyder, but wiki corrected me... said it was Spider for the Fiat.


Fiat, Lancia and Alfa have always used Spider.
Germans usually use Spyder, including Lambo... (Drophead for the Brits???)

I think "spyder versus spider" is an Italian thing. Something to do with their alphabet? e.g. Italian little open top cars are spiders and the German is spyder?
