At the time a US resident (and many US Army officials did so) could buy in Italy a Fiat, an Alfa or another European car with US speficications. My father sold Fiats at the time near a N.A.T.O. base in Sicily and had many American customers serving there who bought Fiats with USA specification in order to take them home after finishing their duty in Italy. Near the basis there were US production cars along with many Fiat, VW, Opel, Renault and other makes for USA.
