FactZastava kept building this one in Yugoslavia until December 1979, long after Fiat itself had moved on.
The Fiat 1300 and Fiat 1500 are a series of front-engine, rear-drive automobiles manufactured and marketed by Fiat from 1961 to 1967, replacing the Fiat 1400 and the Fiat 1200 coupé, spyder and cabriolet, designed by Mario Boano at the Fiat Centro Stile. The 1300 and 1500 were essentially identical except for engine displacement, and were offered in saloon, estate, convertible and coupé body styles; they were conventional cars with longitudinally front-mounted engines powering the rear axle via a four-speed manual transmission with column gearchange. The engines were two versions of the same OHV four-cylinder design, differing mainly in bore, with alloy cylinder heads with twin rocker shafts and inlet valves angled at 45 degrees: the 1300 with 1295 cc and 60 hp, the 1500 with 1481 cc and 73 hp, with lightweight construction, front disc brakes and rear alloy drum brakes. From 1964 the wheelbase of the Fiat 1500 was increased to 2,505 mm as the 1500 C, with power up to 75 PS and power brakes; the Pininfarina-designed coupé and cabriolet of the preceding 1200 continued with the larger 1.5-litre engine, alongside the OSCA-engined 1600 S, until all coupés and convertibles were replaced by the 124 coupés and spiders in 1966. The 1300/1500 was also assembled by Zastava in Yugoslavia (as the Zastava 1300, nicknamed Tristać, which ran until December 1979 with 201,160 built), by Neckar in Germany, in South Africa, Colombia and Argentina (where Fiat Concord built 123,059 from 1963, plus 5,228 Vignale coupés), and its floorpan was the basis of the Fiat 125.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
