I don't know what it is. If there would be only one, it could be really an Italian 126, but in the other scene another one is visible (white, on the right):![]() In a completly different film I saw again another one with such badge of the Italian Fiat... 126p never had Italian badges. I though that these can be a "demo cars", imported form Italy in 1972 and then perhaps sold, but there are too many of them. I guess it was such short lived fashion to replace the PF badge by the one of Fiat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2009-04-07 17:02:04 |

Or the owner had mounted an Italian badge just for joke. Aren't they hold by just two pins in a plastic-hose? -- Last edit: 2009-04-07 16:31:55 |

The holes for the badge were in different place in the Italian one and in the 126p. I guess (again) it could be some sort of sticker. Edit: On the other hand, if this would be an aftermarket sticker or even a "plastic", the owner perhaps wouldn't care were to place it, and here all these badges are in the correct place for the Italian 126. Edit 2!: All such "strange" 126p, I'll list as 1976. This is to me the most probable year. In ca 1976 the export was started also to the west of Europe, where cars were sold as Fiat 126. This is probably one of such cars, "made for the export", which stayed at home. It was possible to replace the rear badge, but not the front one, so they sold cars with mixed badges. There are 3 versions why they stayed in Poland. Or these cars were marketed for $$$ and quality was better or rather the quality was worse than usually, the car didn't pass tests and wasn't exported. The 3rd option is that it was simply some test series. Edit 3: There where two types of 126 (badged as Fiat) in Poland: - with Italian front badge, but Polish rear one ("126p"), this cars deserve to be listed as PF 126p. /vehicle_240145-Polski-Fiat-126p-1975.html - with all badges Italian, this can be lsited as Fiat 126. -- Last edit: 2012-01-16 14:50:44 |
