Random # 158: Another Fiat 128 (Up-dated 22 OCT 23)
Is there a better example of the classic 'three-box' car design than a Fiat 128 sedan? Feel free to nominate your suggestions but UMPH is fairly confident that the 128 is the quintessential example of the genre.
The one featured here has been nicely modified with a set of Cibie Oscars, some nifty 13" mags, a classic bullet-shaped exterior rear-view mirror, a sports steering wheel, high-back bucket seats, a cleverly designed wooden dash-panel with built-in gauges and an incorporated stereo head unit, and rear disc brakes. There was a bit of surface rust showing here and there but it appeared to be straight and the chrome looked good, too.
The photos above and below have copped a bit of reflection off the closed windows but do show the tidy interior and wooden dash-panel. |
An update, as of 22 OCT 23:
Ever wondered what happened to this car? Turns out that the owner at the time this article was written moved overseas and sold it to a southern Tasmanian local who's doing it up. Better still, he's doing a really, really good YouTube video series on the project, available via the link below:
So why not take a squiz and maybe even consider subscribing to his channel? That's what I did!
