The FFO is five days of events that include a concours car show, coordinated scenic drives to historic places, a track day, an autocross, lots of socializing and even a visit to the oldest NASCAR track in history. The FFO is not just about show cars; it is a great opportunity to talk to knowledgeable people and vendor sponsors about your vehicle.

Our prominence was recognized by Laura Soave, Head of FIAT Brand, North America, as she chose our National Convention in Asheville in July 2010 to announce the Prima Edizione, the first new FIAT to be sold in North America in 27 years. We have always met the needs of new owners (back when ‘82 FIAT were new!) and of course vintage car enthusiasts. We are thus uniquely qualified to be the umbrella organization for all FIAT fans.

Our club produces a full-color magazine packed with member-written articles, technical tips and news relating to Italian car ownership.
