The Syrena was a small two-door sedan that was put into production in 1957. And was manufactured until 1983. This car was the Central Committee of the Polish Communist Party. The Syrena was created for a popular means of transport, which will save time during business and leisure and will be meant for rationalizers.
Nysa

Nysa was produced in the town Nysa. This car was manufactured in a factory that manufactured beds and safes amongst other things. This vehicle used the same chassis as the Warszawa. In the seventies, a large portion of the car's production was meant for exports to markets. These markets being West Germany, China, Spain and many more.

The Polonez was the last car produced for the public. A million units were produced by FSO from 1978 to 2002. There have been a couple of versions of this car that appeared and was produced in small numbers.
Sport Syrena

The sport Syrena was a prototype designed by FSO engineers from 1957 to 1960. During this time the communist authorities didn't appreciate this vehicle's style and it didn't correspond to their ideology, in which there should not be any flashy cars. This car was never put into production. And sadly the only specimen of the car was destroyed in the seventies.
Mr. Stanisław Car (Polonez)
Mr. Stanisław imported this amazing Polonez. He wanted to bring his childhood car to American. He enjoys owning this car and driving it around town. He puts a lot of love in taking care of it. While treating it as his fourth child.
