Fiat Elegant

The Fiat Elegant was an Indian version of the Fiat 1100, assembled and sold by Premier Automobiles Limited (PAL) in the 1950s and early 1960s. Known for its sleek Italian styling and reliable performance, the Elegant featured a compact design with rounded curves, a 1.1-litre engine, and spacious interiors for its size. It was considered a premium car in its time, offering a blend of European flair and practical urban mobility. Popular among Indian elites and professionals, the Fiat Elegant laid the foundation for PAL’s long-standing relationship with Fiat and became a status symbol in post-independence urban India.
