C. 1974 UNIC P9A Plateau à Ridelles Grue Foco
Fiat had bought Unic from Simca. In that Simca period a new advanced cabine was developed. It was designed by the French coachwork company Pelpel (Genève), and appeared in 1960. This cabin style was implemented across the entire Unic truck range.
In 1966 tilting cabines became available.
This P6A was one of the last Unic truck versions as a semi-independent truck brand, and were from the last series cabins developed in-house.
In 1975 Unic merged with Fiat, OM, Lancia and Magirus-Duetz in the new founded truck company Iveco.
After 1975 all trucks still had the individual Fiat, OM, Unic or Magirus emblems beside the common Iveco badge.
In 1982, the IVECO name appeared in full on the front of the trucks; the UNIC name remained until 1984 in the lower right corner of the grilles.
By 1985, the UNIC brand name no longer appeared on any truck grille.
