Nice black and white images Jaga, it creates a melancholic mood, because I remember Poland, Poznan in the seventees. And not only Poznan but also, towns, villages, the country, mountains and mountain towns and villages that were near Poznan (South-West Poland).  Old man and young schoolgirl, Sandomierz, Poland, May 19, 1976If I look at the photo of the Old man contemplating about the view of a young girl, both sitting on same bench - Sandomierz, Poland, May 19, 1976, I think, what is she thinking. Does she feels unconfortable. The people are dressed so seventees. The girl with her Polski Fiat 125 p schoolbag.  |

Pieter, I agree with you that these old white and black pictures tell the story of their times. Where did you take the picture of the girl in the Fiat from? She looks like my niece  |

Pieter, I remember the times when only Warszawa and Syrena were present on the streets. Later we had Fiat 125 and small Fiats. Here is an interesting selections of photos from 70s and 60s: www.tokfm.pl/Tokfm/5,103169,11546087,_Chodzac_po_ziemi___50_lat_fotografii_Jalosinskiego.html?i=5 |

Jaga and Pieter
I do remember those Fiat 125 autos. They were well designed and very comfortable. They received a certain amount of criticism for upon the Autobahn, they were slow with out much power, but that is not what they were designed for. They were a Fiat product for the family and with comfortable accommodations. They were easy to operate and with very excellent fuel economy and seem to just rev with out fault.
I once thought perhaps to purchase a Fiat 124 Sports Spider, this is the sports car once produced. But opted for an MG in that stead, the MG had been reworked a bit and was very quick on the Autobahn,,,up to about 200 Km/h, then would run out of wind and flatten out in speed. It would have been an abuse of the machine to push it much more beyound red line of the rev meter.
Fiat is a giant in Europe. They produce ever thing from a tractor to heavy construction equipment. Their products are very well engineered and excellent designed for the intended purpose of use.
