For those interested, I came across this footage: https://fb.watch/o1aeFpjUi9/

Certainly - voiceover not useful, but not difficult to figure out what is said.

This is the Tychy factory (today they produce Jeeps there, before Fiats 500). The other Polish factory, in Warsaw, was manufacturing Fiat 125. No longer there.

MikeSimon:
First Fiat I knew of, that was manufactured in Eastern Europe was the 124 sedan. It was marketed in Germany as a Lada?

Pawel66:
Yes. 124 license was sold to USSR and it came as Ziguli (VAZ 2101), called in export markets Lada 1200. I think they still produce cars based on it today.

Poland bought Fiat 125 and Fiat 126 license. A major technological advancement for Poland for all industries at that time. Well, that was the idea, communists were quite clever there...

MikeSimon:
For our U.S. friends: As the 124 Spider is fairly well known here, the 124 Sedan probably not so much

rwmastel:
Yeah, looks more Soviet than Italian.
