Fabryka Samochodow Maolitrazowych FSM Beskid
Beskid was a series of economy hatchback car prototypes in Poland designed by BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute during 1982-1986. 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: Museum of Technology, Warsaw - Yellow Museum of Municipal Engineering, Kraków in Kraków - Two, white and green Opole University of Technology - White Museum of Technology and Transport in Szczecin - Green BOSMAL museum at BOSMAL facility in Bielsko Biała - Cream The body style was patented, but BOSMAL lacked funds for the extension of the patent. The name comes from the Beskids mountains.
