@tez831 Yes the Fuego seats could even be had with the 'lozenge' logo.
Lancia's 21st century flagship, the Thesis, did not prove much of a sales success over its nine-year life but is remembered for its one-of-a-kind styling. This 2007 German leaflet features a special edition version of the car, called the Thesis Sportiva. #carbrochure #Lancia
In the twilight of its life the classic Fiat 500 got a few changes from 1971, most notably a larger 594cc engine (which would be used in the coming 126), wheels like the 126, and even simpler trim. The model is often called the 500R. This is a Dutch brochure. #carbrochure #Fiat
Several small companies over the years have made a living from cars inspired by the classic '50s Porsche 356 Speedster. These include PGO, founded in France in 1985 and still in business. This 2013 brochure features the Cévennes, with BMW/MINI 1.6 turbo engine. #carbrochure #PGO
In 1996 Premier of India was trying to fight back against newer rivals on the local market. It began production of the 1.0-litre Fiat Uno to sell alongside its elderly Padmini saloon, which saw a modernised S1 model plus a new 137D with FNM diesel power. #carbrochure #Premier
Renault made a bold effort to persuade 'the modern American business man' to convert to its 845cc front-wheel-drive vans, starting in 1959. The new model was called the Estafette in France, but US versions were known as the Petit-Panel, or the taller Hi-Boy. #carbrochure #Renault
The Lada was imported by Satra Motors, which already sold Moskviches in the UK. The brochure highlighted the car's mechanical simplicity: the Lada's engine was not carried over from Fiat, being a new Soviet design. Sturdier suspension and a thicker steel body were other changes.
The Lada 1200 first burst onto the British motoring scene in 1974. The references in the initial brochure to the model 'needing no introduction' and 'look(ing)... strangely familiar' were big hints that it was a Soviet-built version of the well-known Fiat 124. #carbrochure #Lada
Sometimes cars can sound good in theory but fail to be understood by buyers. So it was with the Ohio-made Honda Accord Crosstour. A 'sporty' long-tail crossover, it stepped in for the traditional station wagon in 2010 but failed to win over many customers. #carbrochure #Honda
Way back in 1949, US marque Kaiser-Frazer came up with this very early type of hatchback, an innovation forced on it out of necessity. Unable to afford a wagon body for its Kaiser saloons, the standard body was adapted, creating the Vagabond and Traveler. #carbrochure #Kaiser
