Vintage Fiat Spider still sweet ride - SFGate
Kacey Ragland is a native of Southern California, recently relocated to the wine country. In her spare time Kacey enjoys garage sales, practicing French, visiting wineries, hiking, yoga and swing dancing. Not many can say they still have the second car they’ve ever owned, but my 1976 Fiat 124 Spider has been with me for nearly 35 years. In 1980, when I was a junior at UCLA, my dad felt I needed something a bit more reliable than the 1968 Karmann Ghia I was driving. A lifelong car dealer, he brought home two used cars from his lot and let me choose between the ’76 Fiat or a mid-70s MG.

Being 5-foot-10, I opted for the Fiat as it was slightly more comfortable to drive and had a bit more interior space. Source: www.sfgate.com
