Video Description

The Polski Fiat 125p is one of the most unusual cars of the Cold War era. Built in Poland under a license from Fiat, it looked almost identical to the Soviet Lada — but it wasn’t the same car. For many in the West, it’s a forgotten chapter of automotive history: a Fiat that wasn’t Italian, and a Lada that wasn’t Soviet. In this video, we’ll uncover the story of the Polish Fiat: how it was created, why it mattered, and why today it remains one of the most fascinating “lost cars” of Eastern Europe. If you love rare cars, classic Fiats, or Cold War automotive history, this is a story you don’t want to miss. 🎥 Like what I do and want to support the channel?
