A total of 10. 78 models were produced. Considered to ‘the best small sedan we ever drove' by the February issue of Car and Driver. the 1600 was reasonably priced and affordable to most at the time. At $2. 00. the 1600 series was extremely economical with up to 30 mpg highway. Beginning with the 1600-2. the two-door model. rolling off the runway. it was an instantaneous hit.  
Derivatives of the 1600 were almost immediately introduced. a total of fourteen in all. Unfortunately the 1600 was unable to import. due to the 1968 twin carb engine and regulations from the U. S. Emission controls. The result was the largest four-cylinder engine being installed into the smallest body coupe. The pistons from the 1800 were used in the 1600 to enlarge the 1500's engine. The improvement updated the engine to 1. 6 (1573 cc) and 85 hp (63 kW). The four door 1600 model was originally introduced in 1964 and continued to be produced until 1968.  In 1966. the 1602 or 1600-2 was introduced and continued to be sold until 1975. The 1602 came with an increased output of 96 hp (71 kW) and was sold at $2. 76. The 1600ti was introduced from 1967 to 1971 and was a limited-production cabriolet that was produced by Baur and showcased the same dual Solex PHH side draft carburetors as on the 1800TI. The 1600ti boasted 105 hp. A total of 1. 82 models were produced during it's four years of production. Produced from 1971 for one year. a hatchback 1600 Touring model was introduced briefly.  
The 1600ti was discontinued soon after the release of the 2002. and the Cabriolet version was ended in 1971.    EMAIL ME ANY QUESTIONS INSPECTION IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED PAYMENT & PICK UP WITHIN 48HRS FROM AUCTION ENDING
