On Mathe mass production of Syrena 100 started. One of the prototypes was exhibited at the Poznań Trade Fair in the fall of 1955. As a result, the engineers decided to use steel instead of wood for this part of the car. One of the cars, driven by Karol Pionnier, crashed, revealing the weak structure of the roof. In September all of them took part in an experimental rally covering a distance of 5600 km. By March 1955 FSO had built 5 prototypes of Syrena 100. They met halfway by combining the first car's design with the steel bodywork of the second one (with one exception – the roof remained wooden).

One – with a wooden framework, was constructed by Stanislaw Panczakiewicz, while the second, steel-bodied car was made by Stanislaw Lukaszewicz. The first two preprototypes of Syrena were made in December 1953. The cars were powered by 2-stroke engines designed by engineer Fryderyk Bluemke. Due to a lack of deep-drawn metal parts and cost reductions, the first Syrena 100 cars were supposed to have a wooden bodywork covered with leather-like material. Also a diminutive name Syrenka (little siren) is commonly used for the car in Poland.Īt first, Polish engineers wanted Syrena to have a 4-stroke air-cooled engine and a self-supporting chassis. She is featured on the city's coat of arms.

A coupe Syrena Sport and a hatchback Syrena 110 (in 1966) remained prototypes only.Ī Siren is a mermaid who, according to the legend, protects the river Wisła and the Polish capital city, Warsaw. A van called Syrena Bosto and a pick-up R20 were also produced. In 1965 the Syrena received a larger 3 cylinder engine.įrom 1968 a prototype model named laminat was produced. All were 2-door sedans with two-stroke engines, initially of two cylinders. The Syrena was produced in various models: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, while the most popular model was the 105. During its remarkably long production run it underwent only minor modifications. The Syrena was a Polish automobile model first exhibited at the Poznań Trade Fair in 1955 and manufactured from 1957 to 1972 by the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) in Warsaw and from 1972 to 1983 by Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych (FSM) in Bielsko-Biała.
