Welcome Rivalbfo - very nice car, how about introducing yourself and tell us a bit about your car and how you came by it? Hope you and your son enjoyed the drive.

Great feeling that it must be: the first ride in a new season. Here in Poland, although it is +10o C, the snow is still here and there, and we are waiting for a good rain to wash the salt away from streets.
Good luck for the lucky son!

To be honest this car isn't mine.......this pagoda is a graduation gift of my son, and my wife and me decided to buy it for him in december 2013...anyway it is one of the first pagoda produced in the last 1967 and it was imported from Usa, then renewed and completely rebuilt in Italy in 2006, even with a change of original colour.......it was originally green......i am going to post some pictures of the various steps of this process.

Not bad for a graduation gift :) It looks as if the car went through a very deep restoration and italianization. I always liked the side little turning lights. Despite being used in other cars (namely Fiats) they give Pagodas this special and distinctive touch....

Benvenuto ! Bella macchina ! Mi piace il colore !

Indeed, nice restoration. Like Flyair, I noted the little round turning lights which are specific to the Italian market.

Thank you for your kind reply. The small red lights for the italian market  were taken from the old fiat 500, a classic popular car in Italy.
Now i am going to post new pictures of the restauration end italianization .....bye
