NEW SAAB-CAR PUT ON THE MARKET

The Mark VIII replaced the Mark VII in 1957. It is identifiable by the one-piece curved windscreen. Production lasted only two years, when it was succeeded by the Mark IX.

The Fiat 600 was introduced in 1956 and was an immediate success. The model shown here is the first one, easily identified by the front opening doors and the direction indicators on the top of the front wings

The car remained in production from 1956 to 1970. Seemingly indestructible, these cars are still seen in daily use on the roads today.
