FSC Lublin-51 is a Polish truck from the post-war period. The car was presented to the public for the first time in 1951, and serial production continued in 1951-1959 at the Truck Factory (FSC) in Lublin. In total, about 17,500 cars of this type were built. The drive was provided by a single M-51 engine with a capacity of 70 HP. The power transmission was provided by a 4-speed manual and unsynchronized gearbox.
FSC Lublin-51 was the de facto license version of the Soviet GAZ-51 car. Initially, the Polish cars were a faithful copy of Soviet vehicles, but they were modernized relatively quickly. First of all, a new type of carburetor was used, a new wiper drive was introduced, as well as a cabin with an all-metal structure. However, despite the modernization, the car still showed two main disadvantages: very high fuel consumption, which, with a fuel tank capacity of 90 liters, limited the driving range, and a too low load capacity of 2.5 tons. Finally, FSC Lublin-51 was replaced in the 1960s by other trucks, and as a light delivery vehicle by FSC ¯uk. It is worth adding that on the basis of FSC Lublin-51, specialized versions were also created, e.g. a military ambulance.
