Title: 1970's Fiat-Uk advertising
Post by: Koden on Sunday, September 09, 2012, 07:14:02 AM
I was looking around on the web for a car manual, and i've found this ad (likely a magazine ad) by Fiat Uk. It's a 1970's one and most likely came after the 1973 fuel crisis...i think it's both bold and funny ^^ especially considering how ugly the Strada/Ritmo actually looks.

So, this was the Strada look, upfront.

This was the even uglier US version, featuring "special" crash absorbers i think.

Have you read the advertising? The point was underline how much they had to literally push the advertising on this specific model. It must have been one of the worst exterior designs by Fiat, if you take a look at how many good-looking cars Fiat has made.

Fiat has made good cars, it has also made mistakes and avoided correcting design mistakes (not long ago it lost a trial being disputed over a Lancia models defective exhaust system - basically, due to a design mistake exhaust gas were leaking inside, Fiat at some point got to knew that but simply ignored the issue).
