With the 1500, Seat rose into the field of the middle class in 1963. This makes it the ancestor of models such as the 132 or the Exeo. In keeping with its era, the car was given a trapezoidal design with rich chrome trim. The fenders were filled with diagonal tires in white wall design. In the Spanish newspapers, the Seat 1500 was considered a chauffeur-driven car because of its size and luxurious equipment. In fact, it was even larger in length, width and height than some competitors from the USA. However, the 1500 remained cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedan and station wagon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Besides company bosses and politicians, Seat also tried to convince larger families with the 1500. Since the front seat was officially approved for three passengers, up to six people could ride in the car. In some Spanish cities cab companies and driving services also bought this car and sometimes loaded it with more passengers than allowed. Besides the classic sedan there was also a station wagon version. Since Seat was founded as a Spanish sister company of Fiat, the 1500 also was a licensed production. Modifications and further development took place in parallel to the Italian car. For example, from 1967 there was a modern three-phase current alternator instead of the 400-watt alternator and five instead of four wheel studs.<\/p>\n\n\n
