80's Communist-Polish FIAT 126 spoiler option is very 80's/Communist looking!

Clever how it acts as a rainguard for the cooling vents though! :)

Seems like a petty bourgeois excess. The politiburo should not have allowed this.

I also thought that was intended to be a rain/snowguard for the vents, until someone realized that it could look like a spoiler too

This is the only one that I know of that also looks like a spoiler. If you Google Fiat 126 vent covers, there are a few variations, but most only cover the vents and nothing more. This is the only one I’ve seen which is one-piece and full width across the trunk lid.

There is someone in the Stamford, CT area that uses a red one of these with studded tires as his winter beater. I see him around, and one of these days I’m going to flag him down and go CAN I TALK TO YOU I KNOW SOME INTERNET PEOPLE WHO WOULD LOVE YOU.

He is a hero.

Are you SURE it’s one of these? 0_o If so, he is a hero!

Forgive me for being a bit skeptical, but they were never sold here in North America whatsoever, and they rust like mad, so if he IS using an imported one as a WINTER beater, it’s an oddly specific and weirdly poor choice...the man is both a genius and crazy!!! :P

Take pics next time you see him! :D

There’s a guy a town over who has a Trabant. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same guy.
