After four years as a Marine fighter pilot in World War II, he got a degree in speech and drama from Catholic University in Washington, D.C., then moved to Philadelphia, where, among other...
...less than $1,000, the car was an easy step up from the motor scooter; four passengers could squeeze into it-if they inhaled and exhaled in sync. The 500 is still Fiat's bestseller; it and a slightly larger version account for almost half of the cars sold in Italy over the past decade...
