These have to be "Fiats" for export. Don't remember such green (visible on cars in the background) in PF's with Komfort trim.
Electra :hello: maybe you can narrow the year more thanks to it?

Oh, yes, there were some in this colour on the road, I remember them.

:think: I don't know, in which year it was, when I've participated at my first open contest of a magazine-advertise. I was a grammar-school-boy, I even could write. I wanted to win a light green Fiat 126! :D The contest was about a hair-shampoo with apple-fragrance, I forgot the name...
And I really was sad, that I haven't won this car :(

Not 650, simple 1977 Fiat 126 Personal 4, as an earlier rear quarter window frame

That green, called "Light green" was available on the 126 between April 1976 and April 1979. The colour code was 358.

What do you mean, that the first Perosnals weren't badged as 650? http://img.archiwumallegro.pl/?289211100

I mean that when the first 126 Personal appeared in November 1976 it kept the old 594 cc engine.
Therefore it had a sole rear script on the rear right "Fiat 126", "Fiat 126 Personal" or "Fiat 126 Personal4" (depending of the trim: the Personal without 4 suffix didn't have a proper rear seat, but an amovable cuscion and two big side bags but it was very very rare; the non Personal had the old steel bumpers)
In July 1977 the engine was incremented to 650cc and the script at the rear changed.
For any version You found on the rear lef "Fiat 126" in a new style and on the right either "650", or "Personal 650", or "Personal4 650". Even the handle to open the rear side window was a bit altered (as I recognized on this pictur the old one), becoming a bit higher and balck instead than chrome.
The Personal (without 4) was deleted in the autumn of 1978 with very poor sales.
I am not sure in Poland the latter was available or assembled: most probably it was built only in Italy and seldom exported (I saw one in France with French plate in the early 80's.
I hope I was exaustive and clear. Please, if anything is not clear ask.

P.S. The script You (Wiesel1984) showed is a post July 1977.

Ok, thanks! I always thought, that since late 1976 face lift, all Italian Fiats 126 became 650, but now I see it was the same like with 126p. 650 was available in 126p since July 1977 too (well for a while it was available with both engines to choose*).
And indeed two types of badging:
Personal: http://www.auto-sep.com/fiat70/images/fiat_126_1972_3.jpg
Personal 650: http://www.bachecaannunci.it/adpics/476e8efe9b1c8-post126p.jpg
I've corrected already the 1977+ 126's on the site. The July+ 1977 was, I believe, already a 1978 m.y. judging by the - /vehicle_338077-Fiat-126-126A1-1978.html

*In case of 126p also had to exist badge "600", but very rare to meet.

Thank You Weasel1984 !
Even in Italy for a very short while You could have both (594cc or 650cc) but only to seel the old stock.
Possibly in Poland the 600cc was built fora nit longer while.
We never had in Italy the script "600" but there is a oogical motivation. Untill early 1980 the 126s sold in Italy were also built there; after that date they were imported from poland untill April 1992 when The new (for the time) Cinquecento superseded it. I know that in Poland it was available untill late 2000 and there was a gain a non hatchback version.
By us the 126 Bis (a 3 door hatchback) superseded the original scheme one in September 1987. There were in Poland two versions (2 door and 3 door) ?

Yes, for four years (late 1987 to late 1991), both existed here. Bis has been also replaced by the Cinquecento. "2-door" one was heavy face-lifted in the late 1994 (and then produced to late 2000, as the cheapest car on the market). There were even plans to re-start its export to Germany, but finally it didn't happen (well some small unofficial companies imported them in few countries for hobbysts).
