Hopefully this helps. If your car does not look like this, post a pic. You need to have posted 5 times before you can post a pic, so just answer this 4 more times.
I'd guess your chassis plate may well say made in India?

So its not the Indian one then. That makes it better.
Before the 60s, Fiats were often known by their model name, such 1300, 1500, etc. Then they changed to identifying them by their model number, and in the 80s went back to naming them. Trying to find a cross-reference list is proving difficult.
Have a browse, see if you can find yours.
I have an old publication from the seventies that may well give more detail, but need to identify which model. A pic would be best.
