Overseas Assembly
The 132 had limited manufacture outside Italy compared to the smaller 124. The car was built in Spain by SEAT with a version that was sold between 1973 and 1982.
In Poland the 132 was offered since 1973 as Polski Fiat 132p. The car was described as "assembled in FSO", though actually the cars were shipped to Poland almost complete. FSO only did the final assembly, fitting minor parts like wipers, batteries, wheels and logos. The Polski Fiat 132p was a favourite with high state officials and security services. In 1985 also 270 Argentas were assembled in this way in FSO. Kia built the 132 under license between 1974-1979 in South Korea.

Famous quotes containing the word assembly:
“That man is to be pitied who cannot enjoy social intercourse without eating and drinking. The lowest orders, it is true, cannot imagine a cheerful assembly without the attractions of the table, and this reflection alone should induce all who aim at intellectual culture to endeavor to avoid placing the choicest phases of social life on such a basis.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
