Polish Fiat 508 was produced in the 1930s of the XX century in Poland under the license of Italian Fiat. First, it was assembled from imported parts, later in 1938 95% of parts were produced in Poland. Fiats produced in Poland had a lot of modifications 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 the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. Later lot of Fiats were annexed by Wehrmacht, Red Army, and Romanian Army. “Lazik” – military off-road version was completely polished construction. It had remarkable off-road capability and often was armed in the polish version of Browning Automatic Rifle – rkm wz.28. There is no exact information on the number of cars produced in the Panstwowe Warsztaty Inzynierii factory in Warsaw but it seems to be several thousand. About 40 Fiat 508’s various versions still exist in running condition.
