• 1980 Fiat Ritmo: Satan On Board! [Classic Ad Watch]

  newVideoPlayer("/80_Fiat_Ritmo_476.flv", 506, 423,""); North Americans knew the Fiat Ritmo as the Strada , but did they realize that the little built-by-robots Bertone-styled machine was possessed by Il Diavolo? Just watch as the happy Ritmo-equipped family gets tailgated by a menacing Jaguar (or maybe it's a Daimler)… but then Papa stands on the gas, all sixty ramaging Italian horses kick in, and the Fiat lunges ahead!

• The 1980 Fiat Brava: Such a Deal! [Classic Ad Watch]

  newVideoPlayer("80_Brava_476.flv", 475, 376); In 1980, Americans with a hankering for a snazzy European sedan could have headed for a BMW or Audi showroom... but those cars cost real money! Not so with the Fiat Brava (aka Fiat 131)- you could get one for $3,000 cheaper than a 320i. There must be a catch there somewhere, right?
