In order to create a more sporty version of the 1200 Cabriolet, Fiat teamed up with OSCA, an Italian race car builder, to fit OSCA-tuned engines into the 1200 Cabriolet body. These variants were known as the 1500 / 1500 S cabriolet, and while related to the later 1500 Spider, are not considered to fall into the same family of cars. The 1200 Cabriolet and its variants were in production until 1963.
