The Fiat 500 is a perfect give-a-way – it is Italian, innovative, award winning, and not the norm in automobiles.

Fiat as well is launching their most refined and solution based car to the USA. Gas prices are high and the Fiat can save you money and bring you closer to your adventures. The two brands have history. Some cars go down in history for their technological or stylistic innovations. Others deserve to be remembered for the role they’ve played in the daily life of an entire generation or country. But few succeed in combining the two – technology and sentiment – and leave an eternal mark.

The New FIAT 500, has won 60 international awards, including being named 2008 European Car of the Year and 2009 World Car Design of the Year. Additionally, FIAT MultiAir Technology was recognized as the “Single Most Innovative Engine Technology” of 2010 by the International Engine of the Year Awards panel.

The Live Car Raffle will build over 2 days and culminate in a drawing for the Fiat at the Booth #9000 at 5:30 pm Friday, August 5. There will be Champagne, Bar, and great music. The $2000 Gramicci Gear Raffle drawing will be Saturday at 4:30 pm.
