Polish Fiat 508 was produced in 1930’s of XX century in Poland under license of Italian Fiat. First it was assembled from imported parts, later in 1938 95% of parts was produced in Poland. Fiats produced in Poland had a lot of modification compared to original italian Fiats. They were cheap and popular cars produced in several civil (sedan, cabrio, wagon) and military (wagon, ambulance, off-road “Lazik”) variants. They were used in Polish Army during German invasion of Poland in september 1939.
