As close as I can come to that was my wife's 1954 1300 Cabriolet--and yeah, guess I would like to have that back.

Mike! Really!? Kick a$$.
then its forshore...OEM Mera. Maybe just 1987 Mera only, even!!
i have done alot of seat specific searches... ie..old 1970-80's corvette seats, Trans Am, mostly Pontiac.....and yes, even 80's Ferrari's which= not these results/pictures....(another reason i hate these dam machines) but too not see it off the bat, i give myself another BIG DUH-HOY!
i have disclaimed before that i have never seen a real 308 in person.
well i also need to include that i do not or have not looked and cared what the interior of the 308 is cuz i love the outside too much for any consideration + or - my definition of MOOT....
the backwards angles are weird. like a haha or something- poke in the nutz...CC did say that "no Lines match the real 308".....its funny.
i am in hope that this pans out....learning every day.

whos to say they didnt make "another" pre production test mule or "prototype" i think your car has too many traits that deem it as a mera of some sort. either a pre production car, or early production car or whatever... point is yours has many mera only items several meras dont have. ie people changed parts on their mera or wrecked and put back together with fiero parts instead of mera or whatever. ill say it again lol.... dan you have a mera. my .02 mike

after a year of looking at the hard to reach spots on my car...i totally agree. i have a Mera. a early version even.
this has finally been established to me recently....the seat covers finalized this conclusion. Happy Days.
still wish i had that stupid number, tho. people at car shows feel it a kit car without that #. its frustrating....
see all this crying is finally paying off....i feel that we (all of us) collectively have opened the door as to what a Mera really is.
you know beyond the car, panels and said number.... the Seats, 2 slat grille, pointed alum engine grille, no sticker on the earliest Meras, no Cromodoras on early examples, manual mirror on Drivers side...ect...
the list grows for me everyday...i feel we have expanded the list of "what to look for when buying a Mera" 3 fold. i dug all through the archives and none of the fore mentioned OEM Mera qualities were previously mentioned. but now if one were to look here, the mighty PFF, for some "fact finding" before a purchase, they will be well prepared for a salvo for tough questions for the unsuspecting seller....
i thank you all who have posted here- putting up with my hyper active, no sence making, crybaby a$$....you have all helped me sleep at night with this OEM Mera knowledge we have acculmalated over this past year. i feel honored to be part of this very limited group of people and their Meras!

hot dog!!!!
while staring out my front window, composing the above post....i saw a very nice looking white Fiero go by with a very attractive blonde girl driving.....that makes the 7th Fiero i have seen in my area since i got me X....bloody small world, it 'tis.
also i wonder if we, mostly Richard, have found any Meras that Rodney does not have on the list?? that would be cool too...finding more comrades in the fight to preserve an American icon, PONTIAC....Vive' le Pontiac!!!
*EDIT*
ohhh....yeah, this reminds me, do not kill me or anything.....but do we have Fiero Meras or PONTIAC Meras?....when i went to the Pontiac dealer for a set of spare keys....the "Parts guy" seemed to want too stress that the Mera is NOT a GM thing. duh.....i feel that we have Pontiac Mera's for the fact that they were a option offered by the Pontiac dealer exclusively. so its a Pontiac Mera. right? think i asked this before. well, duh for me if i did. maybe i should try an endorsement deal with them  for a sales promotion to get people in the lot??

in my humble opinion we have pontiac mera's. i like my little car. the guy i bought it from did NOT know anything about it. to him it was a wrecked ferrari kit car on a fiero frame. i failed to mention to him that it was indeed a mera until i got back home with it lol. first thing i did when i got to north carolina which were it was at was open the deck lid and see if it had the sticker. sure enough it did... that was probably the biggest smile i ever had on my face lol. in the pics from ebay it had the vitaloni mirrors and the correct mirror toggle switch and the right looking body panels and so on and so on..... of coarse it was severly wrecked but i did not care. i purchased the car for 1000.00 with 400.00 of my money and my dad who is wealthy paid the other 600.00 long story short he buys all my brothers yukons and tahoes and suburbans and i have always been self sufficient so he has never bought me a car or truck. he offered to pay 60% of whatever i wanted to buy. looking back now i should have picked a porsche 911 or something lol. but anyhow i only had to pay 400.00 for my mera 7071. way fin cool.... anyhow i only share this story because it is just that... my story of my mera 7071.... now it has a history with me.... way cool. thanks for listening all.

Mike, you sly dogg you. thats a cool story. but you should have bought the Mera yourself and had ole dad get that 911 for ya.
ask him if he wants to adopt a 40 year old, ME.....i act like a child sometimes or how bout you...."can i call you daddy?"
i just want you, "daddie" to put that Ls2 in my car for me pweeze??????80/20%???..... i am a brat.
But all kidding aside i went to www.pontiactributeday.com
they are orginizing a Pontiac Tribute day on June 1 and you can register your car....well i thought about throwing a wrench in the works and signed up as Mera X (Daniel) went to model up as a Fiero and using my name as the Mera nod, but lo and behold they have a MERA selection in the choices to pick from....HOT DAMN....we are reconized as PONTIAC MERAS....case closed...THAT IS WAY COOL... 
i also registered my 95 TransAm.....soo love the Pontiacs that i do.
