84 fila restomod Reply #5 – March 07, 2010, 09:53:22 PM Love the seat styles of the Fila! It was just a thing back in the 80's to do a lifestyle edition. With the 80's movement towards fitness and away from superficial baroque cues of luxury, this was obviously a trim package inspired by sportswear. Such trim packages are nothing new... During the 70's it was all about numerous fashion designer Lincolns while in more recent times, Ford has offered Eddie Bauer Explorers and F-150 Harley Davidson designer editions. Quote Selected

I see the Fila as something that was more intended to attract fashion concious female buyers. Quote Selected
