The year is coloured by whoever held it at the time.

1. 1899 The articles of association of Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino were signed in Turin on 11 July 1899 by a group of investors including Giovanni Agnelli.
2. 2014 Fiat passed from Fiat S.p.A. to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. on 12 October 2014, when Fiat S.p.A. merged with and into its Dutch subsidiary Fiat Investments N.V., which was renamed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. on the same day and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange the next. FCA's first annual report names Fiat among the brands it designs, manufactures and sells. Neither party is in the dataset: Fiat S.p.A. ceased to exist in the merger, and FCA N.V. is the same registrant that was renamed Stellantis in 2021, which the dataset treats as beginning only then. Exor, the Agnelli family holding company, consolidated Fiat S.p.A. as a subsidiary before the merger and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. after it, with 29.25% of FCA's shares and 44.37% of its votes at the end of 2014.
3. 2021 Fiat came under Stellantis on 16 January 2021, when the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Groupe PSA took effect and Fiat was named as one of the fourteen brands of the combined company.
