A Fiero ... In
Japan We found it interesting too. So - we asked Taka-san, a frequent FieroFarm
customer who lives in Tokyo, how he acquired his Fiero. Here is his story...
"I took my Fiero back to Japan from the USA with me. In 1985, when I visited Houston, it was my first trip to the USA, I saw a nice two-seat car in a town. It was a Fiero notchback. Next year, I've got an opportunity to go to the USA on my business. I was staying in Marysvill, MI for about one year. As you know, cars are the necessities of life in the US.,I bought my brand new Fiero at that time. So I am maintaining my Fiero for about 19 years. I love Fiero and Fiero is my youth itself. The mileage is still 18,000 on it, however, the deterioration on the body paint became noticeable. I decided to paint and did it last month. The drip rails which I purchased from you were needed for the intallation of the body panels as the shop took all panels off for their paint jobs. Fieros were available here in Japan from 1985 thru 1988 via GM agency. However their list price was incredible. My memory said that an 86 GT equipped with an optional sunroof was about 6.5 million yen ($40,000 USD) at that time. As a result, few Fieros were sold in Japan. I was heard that only a few Fieros still remain in this country today." |

Todd Goes For a Ride... Todd Weikal, Fiero Specialist and owner
of TheFieroFarm.com, took a ride in Pace Car #2, of the original 3 built for
the Indy 500. Pontiac brought this car to Fierorama along with four
other "one of a kind" Fieros. This Indy "ride" made
the 15 hour round trip to Fierorama well worth the time for Todd. Picture of Todd in the Indy - grinning
from ear to ear - provided by Vince Badali. Click here to see a
gallery of pictures from Fierorama 2005. |
