Background
The Tofaş Şahin, Doğan, and Kartal are Turkish versions of the Fiat 131 automobile made in the Türk Otomobil Fabrikası A.Ş. factory in Bursa, Turkey. While doğan means "falcon" in Turkish, kartal means "eagle" and şahin means "hawk". In Turkey, they are informally referred to as Kuş Serisi, meaning "Bird Series". The cars were built from 1977 and sold in Turkey until 2002, with Egyptian assembly coming to an end in 2009 and in Ethiopia until 2010.
