The Fiat 126 was presented at the 1972 Turin Motor Show as the successor to the Fiat 500 Nuova. Fiat would have liked to take over the design of its successful predecessor. But after almost 20 years, the spherical body shape no longer struck a chord with the 70s. Fiat designer Sartorelli designed the new body in a contemporary, angular style, with the benefit that there was now enough space for 4 occupants. The fuel tank was placed under the rear seat, now foldable. This increased the luggage space from 30 to 100 liters. The chassis and the engine were largely taken over from the predecessor. The Fiat plants produced almost 1.4 million 126s in Italy until 1980. Fiat officially ended production of the 126 in 1987, but in parallel, since 1973, the car was built under license by the Polish FSM in Bielsko-Biala and Tychy until 2000. Within its history, the Fiat 126 has undergone numerous changes. Among them, two convertible models were created. One version with a roll bar and almost original size doors was produced by Bosmal on FSM basis. The second convertible version was produced by Pop without the roll bar and smaller doors. This resulted in a small car with the flair of a convertible. From 1987 on, the Pop company produced about 700 units of the 126 Cabriolet with the water-cooled 700 cc 2-cylinder with 26 hp.
