Launched at the 1955 Brussels Motor Show, this Czechoslovak model was produced until 1959, when replaced by the first-generation Felicia, whose design was fairly similar. The 440 range includes a two-door sedan reproduced here (whose front and rear side windows are interchangeable to keep costs down), an estate and a (rare) convertible, called the 450.

Introduced in 1976, the Skoda 105/120 (Type 742) was produced until 1990. It was the last rear-engined Skoda. At that time, most of the models were front-wheel drives, except sport cars. New on the 1984 model year: a version 130 (1.3-liter), and a facelift on the entire range, easily visible here: the bumpers and front grille were black, and the headlights were modernized.

Avant l'Octavia de 1996 de l'ère Volkswagen, cette appellation avait déjà utilisée chez Skoda, alors marque nationalisée de Tchécoslovaquie. Il s'agissait d'une deux portes assez compacte, lancée en 1959 (ici datée de 1961), évolution des Skoda 440/445 et 450 dont la série débute en 1954. Elle sera déclinée en break Combi et cabriolet... appelé Felicia.

The two-door Octavia sedan, launched in 1959, was also available in coupe, station wagon and even convertible, called Felicia. Skoda used this name again in 1994. Sold until 1964, this first-gen cabriolet found a total of nearly 15,000 clients. Its engine was initially a 1.1-litre borrowed from the Octavia, increased from 43 to 53 hp. Then it became a 1.2-litre from 1961.

In 1970, the 1000 MB was replaced by the Skoda 100, technically similar but whose design was more modern. The 100L differs from the standard 100 by its wheel covers and horizontal rear air vents. Above this model in the range, the 110L receives a 1.1-litre engine instead of a 1-litre. The production of the 100 is discontinued in April 1977, shortly after the more modern 105/120.

Skoda was the main automobile manufacturer in Czechoslovakia's Soviet era. Bought in 1991 by Volkswagen, this brand has long been known for its small rear-engined sedans. Skoda also manufactured lorries and buses, such as this 706 RO marketed from 1946 to 1958 and intended, depending on the configuration, for public urban or road transportation.

Introduced in 1976, the Skoda 105/120 (Type 742) was produced until 1990. It was the last rear-engined Skoda. At that time, most of the models were front-wheel drives, except sport cars. New on the 1984 model year: a version 130 (1.3-liter), and a facelift on the entire range, easily visible here: the bumpers and front grille were black, and the headlights were modernized.

Released under the name 1200 in 1952, this unknown 4.50 m/177 in.-long Skoda was renamed 1201 from 1955, with slight updates. At the time, this model came in support of the 440, more compact, which became the first-gen Octavia. The 1201 was renamed 1202 in 1961 with a redesigned grille. Here we have the 3-door estate variant of the 1201.

This unusual Skoda proves that Volkswagen’s Czech brand is able to think out of the box. Based on a rally Fabia Super 2000, the RS 2000 was unveiled in green, during the 2011 Wörthersee Car Show in Austria, which was celebrating its 30th edition. This second-generation Fabia was turned into a 4-door 4-seater roadster.
