NSU-Fiat, Neckar

In 1961, the Fiat 1300 and 1500 were introduced. They were essentially identical to each other except for their engine displacement, as indicated by their model names. They replaced the Fiat 1400 and were offered in sedan and station wagon body styles. The cars were also assembled by Zastava in Yugoslavia and Fiat's German subsidiary, Neckar Automobil AG, as well as in South Africa and Argentina. It was a succesful model, almost two million units were produced worldwide. The 1300 was replaced by the Fiat 124 in 1966 and the 1500 by the Fiat 125 a year later.
