Fiat Freak Out 2007

Fiat Freak Out is an annual event hosted this year by Fiat Lancia Unlimited of Detroit (FLUID). It will be held from Thursday, July 26 through Sunday, July 29th in and about Detroit, Michigan. For complete details, go to www.flu.org.

The Fiat Freak Out (FFO) brings together the largest collection of Fiat and Lancia automobiles in North America to swap stories and tips, show off our cars, and share our passion for these wonderful automobiles. In 2007, we are celebrating our 24th Freak Out! The FFO is three days of events that include a concours car show, a coordinated drive, an autocross and lots of socializing. The FFO is not just about show cars, it is a great opportunity to talk to knowledgeable people and sponsoring vendors about your vehicle.

Besides being the 24th year the Fiat Freakout is being held, this year is also a celebration of 50 years of the Fiat Nuova 500. Last years Freakout had a great turnout of 500’s and we hope to see more this year as we celebrate it’s 50th birthday!

In addition, this years Freakout is being held at the same location as the 2007 Alfa Romeo owners club event. The AROC meeting starts August first. Plan on spending a couple of extra days to see more of the Fiat family! Check it out at: www.motorcityalfa2007.org.
