Not only did the Fiat 124, made from 1966 to 1977, come as a two-door, four-door, wagon, and convertible, it bears a resemblance to the Lada (or as it was known in Russia, the Zhiguli) for a very good reason. The Soviet government collaborated with Fiat to create the VAZ 2101 (Lada 1200), which was not allowed to be sold in the same markets as the original Fiat 124. There wasn’t much difference between the two version of the car save for thicker sheet metal on the Russian version. It was also designed to be simple enough to be fixed and maintained by the owner in a rather garage-sparse Soviet Russia.
