Holiday Gift Catalog from IAP
Editor's Pick

As a treat for both our readers and sponsors, VeloceToday presents a Holiday Gift Catalog. Below are some of the editor's picks but we encourage you to click on the entire selection at IAP, which includes many more interesting gifts for the enthusiast, all from our friends at International Auto Parts


If you like what you see, order two or more. Buying one coffee mug is like buying one taillight bulb. (Order Here.)

Mugs
Wake up and grab a new coffee mug, one without the old coffee stains and designed warm up the internals. Nothing like a good brew to get you going, particularly when it reminds one of the Alfa or Fiat in the garage.

Sweatshirts
And here's the perfect solution to the fall and winter chill--an Alfa (or Fiat) sweatshirt. The come in all sizes and last and last and last. No Walmart crap here.

Keep warm in the garage this winter with these 100% cotton sweatshirts. (Order Here.)

There are also sweatshirts for Fiat fans, so be sure to check out the entire selection.

Alfa Racing Video
Haven't made it to the garage yet? Still too cold? Ok, slide this video into the VCR and sit back with that coffee. You won't be able to stop watching this very special documentary which details the long and glorious history of Alfa Romeo racing.

Learn why Alfa is a cherished name-it's in the racing history. (Order Here.)

Highly recommended for those who are new to the sport, and very satisfying to those who know everything. Couldn't ask for more in a video. Comes complete with Fangio, Farina, Fagioli.

Models
It's always enjoyable to find a model of the particular car you own, or would like to own. We've always opted for the 1/43 scale models over the 1/18th. Either way, they fill up a shelf quickly. Be forewarned, models can be as addictive as that coffee.


One of our favorites is the GTV--but they are all great models. (Order Here.)

IAP offers a long list of Alfa and Fiat 1/43 scale models, and don't let the images fool you. These are some of the best we've ever seen, and are very accurate and well-proportioned. We are sure you'll be happy with whatever choice you make. For Fiat enthusiasts, there is a new Fiat 124 Spider, which looks great from the images. In 1/18th scale, it takes more space but features much more detail, and opening doors, hood and trunklid.

A larger 1/18th scale Fiat Spider is now available. (Order Here.)

There is enough detail in the engine compartment for even the most experienced model collector, right down to the yellow plastic cam belt covers, plug wires and intake manifold. The interior is even better.

Posters
Something which can be used both in the den (why are we always confined to the den? Why not the living room?) are posters.

(Order Here.)

IAP offers a great poster of the immortal GTA, cornering on two wheels, a typical pose for the era, racing to victory over the Lotus Cortinas.

Fender Covers
What, still not out in the garage? Ok, here's something for the car. Like the coffee mugs, do yourself a favor and buy two of these very sturdy fender covers.

Also available for Fiats, a high quality fender cover. (Order Here.)

You do have two front fender, don't you? We bought ours from IAP in 1975 and it's still in use!

Keep in mind that IAP has a full line of polishes, waxes, car covers, and of course more Fiat, Lancia and Alfa parts to keep your treasure going forever.
