Fiat - Fiat 1300 & 1500
The Fiat 1300 and Fiat 1500 were identical but for the engine capacity, and were built between 1961 and 1967, available as a saloon or estate, plus a Pininfarina coupe and cabriolet looking much as the previous Fiat 1200. These Fiat 1300 and 1500 were lightweight, with disc brakes at the front and alloy drummed brakes at the rear.
