When did you last see a “classic” Fiat in an airport garage

[flaviaman]

Had to go to LA for meetings and the Daily Driver (a Teutonic Sausagewagen)
was in for Service, the 850 made the airport run. I was surprisingly anxious about leaving it there for two nights...

You seem to have a whole bunch of unintended attachments there flaviaman

You are a brave man. The LAX parking lot has always been a shopping mall for thieves. I know several examples of personal friends that have either lost things from their cars (inside and out) or the entire vehicle while in those garages. I suspect the attendants that work there are like a major part of the problem.

Ya, I think the new format has somehow captured your photo files unintentionally.

Looks better than my '70 Volvo in the red long term lot, Gregg!

Note, this is Portland. What you can't see from the photo is a brown paper bag in the front seat. Written on the bag "Here is the weed, doors unlocked".

Nice.

Looks like a 1970 from the three holes from the side markers?

Looks great.

You are brave.

Beautiful car.

That makes sense. I read that you went to LA and was thinking that's where the car was. I imagine the airport in Portland is MUCH better than LAX. It has to be.

Looks nice! Would look even nicer with the set of Cromodoras you got from me. It would def. be weird seeing that in the parkade.

I love Portland and surrounding area. The airport is in a beautiful setting with the Columbia river along one side and looks like it'd be pretty safe. Don't have to go very far south or east from there to see homeless folks tho. If you do make it up this way this summer, I could do with a box of Voodoo donuts, lol.

I don't think this was an airport garage, I believe it was the Disney or DreamWorks garage. (Not sure where my sister was employed at the time) Does it still count as a "classic Fiat" if it has been converted to electric?

 

[Dr.Jeff]

converted to electric

I don't recall you mentioning a electric X in your family. Any info on the conversion?

There is no electric X in my family. My sister drove by this one in the parking garage where she worked.

My sister drove by this one in the parking garage where she worked.

Ahhh, I seem to remember that she drove an X at one time so I thought that was hers. The one in the pic appears to be in very good condition, therefore I'm guessing the electric conversion may have been done professionally. If the Disney/Dreamworks she worked at are the SoCal locations, then there's a chance the electric conversion could be from these guys:

EV West - Electric Vehicle Parts, Components, EVSE Charging Stations, Electric Car Conversion Kits

They are located toward the San Diego region and have been a leader in conversions for a very long time. And they like to do classic cars so this could be one of theirs.
