CWS T-1 it's a Polish car which was built after 1927 till 1933. Car was very successful vehicle, but production had to be suspended due to agreement between Polish government and FIAT company. Poland bought license from Fiat to produce one of their cars (Fiat 508) and in return Polish companies had to stop producing competitive car - CWS T-1.
