In Italy, production ended in the 1980s, but was continued in Poland, where the 126 was produced from 1973 to 2000 as the Polski Fiat 126p. sdfvc In 1984, the 126 received a facelift, giving it plastic bumpers (for all versions) and a new dashboard.

Despite clever marketing, the 126 never achieved the frenzied popularity of the 500. This did not mean, of course, that it was not a commercial success; quite the contrary - it just happened that it was merely a highly successful model, not one whose sales had gone through the roof. The Soviet-reclaimed steel rust scandal of the 1970s (which also caused tremendous damage to Lancia's reputation in the UK) did nothing to help sales, although it would be fair to say that Fiats, Lancias and Alfa Romeos never rusted more than their British, French and even German competitors.

Fiat 126 history - Gizmo Highway Auto Guide (705 words)
The Fiat 126 was a small 2 cylinder rear engine car that was very popular in Europe but not as well loved as the famous Fiat 500 Nuevo that it replaced.
Fiat knew that people still loved the style of the aging 500 so the 126 and the 500 were sold along side each other until 1975.
In March 2004 Fiat released a concept car that mimics the Fiat 500 Nuevo styling in the same way the new VW Beetle is styled after the old.
