Stan, you're not crazy.  I recall my Dad talking about these, and they were
FIATs.

FYI, the pronunciation is supposed to be "fyat", not "fee-aht", for the
purists only, of course.  Kind of like a "volksvahgen", instead of a
"volkswagon".

Chris.

How the heck would I know, it said Fiat on the Horn button, back of the
car and front door.
Sitting here now I'm sure I paid too much for it.
The Rocker arm shaft bolts were hollow, they broke, I put a Ford drip oil
system inside the valve cover and booted it out the drive for $50.00, no
loss, just good riddance.
