FSM Beskid

Beskid was a series of economy hatchback car prototypes in Poland designed by BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute [pl] during 1982-1986.

[1] The design team was led by Wiesław Wiatrak who later used the Beskid as his daily car and finally passed it to a museum in Kraków.

The car never went into mass production; However, it is also suggested that the Beskid was in fact a back-up measure if licensing talks were unsuccessful; finally the Fiat Cinquecento was produced in FSM.

While all seven Beskid prototypes were slated for destruction, six were saved.

One was used for a crash test, and the remaining six are located in various institutions in Poland: The body style was patented[citation needed], but BOSMAL lacked funds for the extension of the patent.
