Gidday Campers, a very belated thanks for the enlarged photo of your former 124 Spider, Tom. My interest in Fiats comes from having a friend who has had, for many years, the reputation as the go-to-man for not only fixing the idiosyncrasies of Italian cars, especially Fiats, but also making them go faster. He has a Fiat Abarth 124 Spider of a similar vintage, though when I caught up with him last week end when I went over the hill to do the annual service on he and his brothers aeroplane, he informed me that it was currently off the road getting that curse of Italian cars, rust, removed, though as usual with mechanics own cars, it is way down on the list of priorities.
I wonder if the journalist who wrote the article either misheard or got finger trouble as later on the article refers to the replacement of the street cars in 1937, David. After WW 2 would have made more sense as far as scrapping the rails goes. Anyhow it piqued my interest to look further and I came across this site, which, of course, you maybe already aware of.
