Vehicle Description
This 1987 Polski FIAT 126P is about as basic as transportation got
in communist Poland. The cars were built under Italian license by a
firm called Fabryka Samochod�w Malolitrazowych or FSM, literally
"The Car Factory." A base 650E model, these angular little cars
catch a lot of flack, but are actually a lot of fun to drive. This
one is in unusually good shape, and runs great. The car's gray,
black and white color scheme underscores its appliance-like
utilitarianism, though it's still a handsome little thing with lots
of character. The 652cc air-cooled vertical twin-cylinder engine is
all stock and develops about 24hp. This is delivered to the rear
wheels via a 4-speed transaxle, and total weight is just a touch
over 1,300 pounds. This car was restored in Poland.
