Fiat Multicarga

Multicarga was the name Fiat Concord, the Argentine subsidiary of Fiat, gave to the pick-up versions of its saloons, built between 1965 and 1990 in three successive series. The pick-up used the front half of the saloon body up to the centre pillar and a new rear load bed on the reinforced base platform, with the load bed styled to blend with the car lines. The 1500 Multicarga came first in 1965, built under licence, and 16,074 were made until the 1600 Multicarga replaced it in 1972. The 1600 used the front of the Fiat 125 of 1967 with an enlarged engine of 1,625 cubic centimetres, and was in turn replaced by the 125 Multicarga. In 1980 the Argentine Fiat and Peugeot companies merged into SEVEL Argentina and the pick-up became the 125 Mirafiori Multicarga, made until 1982.
