Anyone who knows anything about classic cars knows what the first vehicle that comes to mind for convertible fun in the 1970s was. The Fiat 124 Sport Spider made a name for itself because of honest driving characteristics and a reasonable amount of creature comforts. Fiat is a world-renowned Italian automaker so it was no surprise that this car was so phenomenally built. The Fiat 124 was synonymous with spirited driving and a unique Italian design (via Classic).

There aren’t a lot of cars that are as culturally relevant as the Fiat 124. It took the place of roadsters which were much more expensive, and it offered an upscale ride and feeling. Drivers who purchased this type of car back then were only worried about one thing, fun. The 124 Spider was the epiphany of fun, and the car is still a classic today. There’s a solid foundation of fun that comes with this car and a devoted following of enthusiasts as well.
