If you want to see Renaults and Fiats ( although I can't imagine why anybody
would) go to Bogota, Colombia. About 80% of the cars there are one or the
other of these two brands, going back to the '60s, plus a sprinkling of
Chevettes, Pintos, etc. Just to make you feel good, the going price for a
1982 Chevette there is about $4000.00!! I believe if you wanted to get rid of
an '82 Chevette here, you would have to pay a junk dealer to haul it off.
On the other hand, if you are an old car nut like I am, Bogota is a good
place to see late '40s and '50s cars, still on the road, and in daily use!! I
about lost it when I saw a '54 Ford with the skylight roof being in use as a
Taxi!
