Tuček's book "Auta v československu 1945-1990, Osobní auta tuzemské i z dovozu" says these were imported pretty consistently all the way up to 1975, with around 10 thousand 1300/1301/1500/1501 cars roaming the roads by the end these stopped being sold. By the end these were almost exclusively avaliable only for hard currency.
