Fiat Panorama

The Fiat Panorama is a three-door station wagon version of the Fiat 147, the subcompact car that Fiat built in South America. It was built in Brazil and released in March 1980 as one of the first small station wagons produced there, and it was phased out in 1986 to give its market to the Elba and Duna Weekend. Its rivals included the Volkswagen Brasilia and Variant, the Ford Belina and the Chevrolet Caravan, with the Chevrolet Marajo and Volkswagen Parati arriving later. The mechanicals of the 147 were adapted for a heavier weight, and its appeal was economy of space and fuel: at 3,924 mm it was the shortest of the Brazilian wagons yet its interior space matched the bigger ones, because the spare tyre sat beside the engine as in the 147. It was sold with a 1048 cc gasoline engine of 56 hp or a 1297 cc engine running on gasoline or alcohol, in C and CL trims.
