Benvenuto!

Welcome to the Delaware Valley Chapter of club Fiat-Lancia Unlimited. 'FLU' is a national club that celebrates all cars build under the Fiat brand. Our chapter is based loosely around Philadelphia, PA. This is also the area that club FLU was founded in 1983. Our chapter is fairly active with drives done in the surrounding suburbs, our own displays and show, gatherings for meals, etc. We also gather at larger national events such as Fiat Freak Out and join in other events like the Carlisle Import show. Membership in the FLU national club automatically allows participation in the local chapter. When joining or renewing a membership, be sure to check that you want to be a member in the Delaware Valley Chapter.

We are a club of volunteers, so the club is as active and as good as the participation of it's membership. Please contact us with ideas and volunteer to help with any of the upcoming events. You can get involved as little or as much as you like. It seems we can never have too many volunteers!
