Warsaw — women's t-shirt

FSO Warszawa

The Warszawa was the first car produced in Poland after World War II, earning it the title of pioneer among passenger cars of the People's Republic. Its design was based on the Soviet M20 Pobieda car, and it was subsequently developed and adapted at the FSO (Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych) in Warsaw. The Warszawa was produced between 1951 and 1973, and from 1954, some units were designated for export.

The elegant Warszawa, with its gleaming bodywork, inspired by machines from beyond the eastern border, resembled the heavily rolling cars of Soviet officials, which, though stylish, cast an ominous atmosphere around them. Nevertheless, the Warsaw factory introduced numerous modernizations, giving the Warszawa a newer, more pleasant image, and its bodywork in red and white versions no longer resembled mysterious Soviet vehicles.

Production peaked in the late 1960s, with the highest number of cars rolling off the assembly line reaching 17,780 (1968). According to some sources, those produced for the military and police were not included in these records. In turn, the largest number of domestic Warszawa units that sped along foreign roads went to sunny Bulgaria.
