Seems that KIA built a version of the Fiat 124 sedan from 1970 through 1975.

sounds to me like the head guy from fiat married the head guy's daughter from kia. weird but a great connection for you since you love those 124's. good to stumble on those kinds of connections.

Fiat did that a lot in 70s.. shipping out CKD (compleatly knocked down, basically all the parts)kits to car makers all over the world. I knew about the ones that went to spain, south africa, and brazil, I did not know about Korea..

But very interesting none the less
