History
The first front-wheel drive Subaru made. Many developpements since the 1500 P-1 model of 1954 have been made, including a prototype named A-5 in 1962. However, due to limited ressources, Fuji Heavy Industries did not put it onto production. Only manufacturing the small 360 model in Japan at the time, Subaru wanted to develop a larger 4-passenger car that could compete with the Toyota models. The decision was made to put an air-cooled horizontally opposed engine in the front for better cooling.
The model developped later on in 1963 which was released in late 1965 is the Subaru 1000.
