`85 Fiero GT
KIT 2242 85224200200 ‘85 Fiero GT The Pontiac Fiero had a history of only five model years-1984 through 1988. Even though over fifteen years have passed since the last Fiero rolled off the production line, the car still has a sizable following of fiercely loyal enthusiasts. The story behind the Fiero’s development actually started with then Pontiac general manager John DeLorean in 1967. Still fresh from the success of the Pontiac GTO™, another car he championed, DeLorean liked the idea of a mid-engined small car with a non-metal body. GM management, already dealing with issues in the development of the already delayed next generation Corvette®, killed the idea. That’s where things stayed until 1978, when the Pontiac division revived the mid-engined car idea. At this time, the US was in the middle of a gasoline shortage and American car manufacturers found themselves low on fuel efficient cars that the public actually wanted to buy. The Fiero was to be positioned as an exciting car that still was an economy car. Names considered at the time for the new car included Pegasus, Sprint and Fiamma, that last name an Italian word that the marketing staff thought would not go over well with the public. Still, when a GM employee stumbled upon "Fiero" in an Italian dictionary (it means "very proud"), everyone gave it a thumbs up. When the Fiero first appeared in late 1983 as a ’84 model, it had but one engine choice, a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder.

Cut desired decal from sheet. Dip decal in water for a few seconds. Place wet decal on paper towel. Wait until decal is movable on paper backing. Place decal in position on model, face up and slide backing away. Press out air bubbles with a soft damp cloth. Milkiness that may appear is for better decal adhesion and will dry clear. Wipe away any excess adhesive. Do not touch decal until fully dry. Allow the decals 48 hours to dry before applying clear coat.

While Pontiac hoped to sell 80,000 units in the car’s first year, actual sales turned out to be over 100,000, insuring the Fiero’s profitability. Another high point was the announcement that the Fiero would be the Pace Car for the following year’s Indy 500®, the only mid-engined car and one of the very few 4 cylinder cars to pace the race. In addition, 2,000 Pace Car replicas were offered to the public. Development moved along quickly after that, with the GT model being introduced early in 1985. The GT, the subject of this Revell kit, included a 2.8 liter V6 engine for more power, larger wheels and tires and the rounded front end that first appeared on the Pace Car. A year later, the fastback body style was introduced. Things took a strange turn in the 1988 model year. Many thought the ‘88s were the best Fieros yet and new colors and options including leather interior and the rare T-Tops (only 1,250 built) were made available. A prototype ’89 model was even built. Yet, GM discontinued the Fiero suddenly after the 1988 models. To this day, many Fiero enthusiasts debate as to why the car was dropped. The last two Fieros were produced on August 16, 1988 and were both given to employees at the plant. The Fiero story didn’t end on that day, however, and many clubs and companies offering parts and technical assistance still abound. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Découper l'autocollant désiré de la feuille. Tremper l'autocollant dans de l'eau pendant quelques secondes. Placer l'autocollant mouillé sur une serviette en papier.

Appuyer avec un chiffon doux humide pour éliminer les bulles d'air. La substance laiteuse qui peut apparaître est destinée à améliorer l'adhésion de l'autocollant et devient incolore au séchage. Essuyer pour enlever tout excédent d'adhésif. Ne pas toucher l'autocollant tant qu'il n'est pas bien sec. Laisser l'autocollant sécher pendant 48 heures avant d'appliquer une couche transparente.
