The "Large Fiat"

The Fiat 125p was a large and comfortable car, intended for family trips, company outings, and finally, spacious enough to sleep in the back seat, which distinguished it from the heroic but modest "Maluch" (Fiat 126p). The Fiat 125p, also known as the Polski Fiat, first appeared on the roads in 1967, winning the hearts of another generation of Polish People's Republic citizens with its four-cylinder gasoline engine and rear-wheel drive. The car was the successor to the Warszawa, which had become somewhat outdated in an era of rampant modernization, the ultimate proof of which was The Rolling Stones concert in April of that year. The new era therefore required new solutions.

The Polski Fiat, also known as the "Large Fiat," was a simplified version of the Fiat 125, with technical solutions borrowed by the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (Passenger Car Factory) from the Fiat 1300 and 1500. Throughout its production period, the Polski Fiat was modernized, which is particularly noticeable in models from 1975. So, 1975 was not only a period of change for FSO – the then Minister of Transport also kept pace with the times, ordering the introduction of a new license plate design.

However, our "Large" hero had little time left in the spotlight, as in 1978, his rival and successor, the Polonez, appeared on the scene. Both models were produced simultaneously until 1991, when the last Fiat 125p rolled off the production line – the last car, incidentally cherry-colored, was like the icing on the cake, crowning the model's colorful career. During 24 years of continuous production, almost 1.5 million units were built, of which almost 600,000 were exported to about 80 countries.
