Fiat 128 Coupe 1977

The 1977 Fiat 128 Coupe is a two-part derivative of the Fiat 128, a model introduced in 1969 and awarded Car of the Year in Europe in 1970. The Fiat 128 was known for its front-wheel drive transverse engine, a construction that was innovative in this class at the time and later widely used within the automotive industry. With the introduction of the coupe variant, the model program received a sportier-lined body, aimed at an audience that valued a different design in addition to functionality.

The 1977 Fiat 128 Coupe belongs to the later production years of the first generation of coupes, produced from the early 1970s. The design is characterized by a compact 2-door body with a relatively long hood and a sloping roofline. The technical basis remained the same as that of the regular Fiat 128, which meant that the car used the front-wheel-drive platform that Fiat continued to develop and apply to other models during this period.

Within Fiat's history, the 1977 Fiat 128 Coupe marks a phase in which the brand further refined its front-wheel-drive concept and extended it to different body styles. The 128 series was produced worldwide and delivered in various markets, contributing to the model's international fame. The coupe version occupied a position of its own within that range due to its specific bodywork and positioning alongside the sedan and station wagon variants.

This 1977 Fiat 128 Coupe is a copy from the 1977 model year. Interested parties will thus receive a model that is part of a series that was influential in the further development of compact front-wheel-drive cars within Europe. To get a good idea of the lot we advise you to come to the viewing day.
