2. ZAZ-965. Humpback. The first production model of plows, the prototype of which was the FIAT-600. Engine 0.9-liter, 26 horsepower and 90 km / h ... Of course it's about the production model. Zaporozhets, who I met on the streets of Sevastopol has a decidedly more modern characteristics. Impressive significant changes, but it has not lost Hunchback branded features, appearance.



3. And of course modification. Humpback. Plain and simple



4. This interior Gobatogo Soviet workers did not dream. As well, such a cabin is not even dreamed of the first secretary of the district committee. Simpler were salons in their Volgas



5. Moskvich-401. Or just the first four hundred. Full analogue Opel Kadett K38. Rather complete analog was 400 th Moskvich and 401st simply an improved version of the 400-ki. By the way a very interesting history of the emergence of this model Moskvich - in short, the reason was the large number of captured German vehicles in the use of the citizens and organizations of the USSR after the war that eventually led to the problems of repair and lack of spare parts. This was the reason for the start of mass production in the country a production car based on one of the most popular German models. By the way as a prototype chose the most expensive model, Stalin personally chose her, and even there the GKO ban on entering into it any change. So we can safely say that the 400/401-th Moskvich can be called a premium in the USSR.



6. Moskvich-401 had a 1.1 liter engine power 23/26 horsepower and a top speed of 90 km / h. The car in the photo as well as Humpback considerably refined enthusiasts of Sebastopol, it replaced almost all the technical component, installed engine and gearbox from BMW, seriously changed interior and chassis, but the exterior has undergone minor changes.



7. In view of the short history of this Moskvich, the inscription on the wing definitely sounds good



8. And of course, win. GAZ M-20. The legendary and beloved by many car. Only one taxi Victory was released 34 thousand units - for the 50th is a pretty impressive figure. Do you know how many win-gigs? 14,000 !!! It seems to me that this is a massive gig in the history of the USSR. But the prototype of the Victory was again Opel. Namely Opel Kapitan - one of the most common machines officers of the Wehrmacht during the war.
This victory, as well as Humpback 401 th considerably refined and much of it is changed. It is a pity that the changes were made and the important details in the exterior - for some reason changed chic recognizable headlights, making them like KIA Opirus ... Even somehow felt sad after that ...
