Wassim™ Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Between 1980 and 1983 (or 1984, if taxis are counted) the CEC sold 6,708 Fiat 131 Mirafiori. Today, it is difficult to know how many survive: very few in conditions highlighted by its old and classic plate; many become part of gardens and lots that bring them closer to a property tax than to a bearing tax; and many others extending their retirement age with basic maintenance as the only reward for long and exhausting hours of heavy work. Along with those many Mirafiori, the other cars that since the late 60s began to po[CENSORED]te the scarce national roads (which increased their amount to the rhythm of the odometers of these machines) probably shared the same kind of history. Maybe it all started with a notice of vintage advertising that in black and white or in pale colors showed an attractive silhouette car; or maybe seeing in the streets a lucky person who was already proud. Whatever it was, this should have been followed by an economic effort, probably supported by a loan that would take years to pay off, which allowed that person or family to take pleasure in buying their first car.
