Remembering Moskvich-407
Moskvich-407 - an upgraded model 402 th Muscovite with a new overhead valve engine and improved finish, which from 1958 to 1963 was released in the amount of more than 350 thousand. Copies.
This compact car is different in that more than 50% were exported, as in the socialist and the developed capitalist countries - France, Belgium, Scandinavia, Finland, England and others. In addition, the Belgian company engaged in the assembly of Scaldia "Muscovites" from kits and sold them under its own brand
8 ph via aquatek-filips
2. The first production model can be distinguished from the "Moskvich-402" only at a reduced height of "combs" above the rear doors and the inscription "Moskvich" under the hood emblem
3. The export version differed more common two-tone colors and a modified exterior.
4. The car was quite modern in appearance, much more spacious and comfortable inside compared to its predecessor body. He had a separate luggage compartment, which is accessed from outside the vehicle and not from the inside as on the M-400/401, with the trunk lid had a remote drive on the lever in the cabin, bent windshield and rear glass, a fairly high level of interior decoration, was equipped with a heater with protivoobledenitelem windshield (previous model heater did not have), flashing turn signals momentary located on top of the casing of a steering column switch (M-400/401 turn signals from the plant did not have), radio (not often met in the base even on foreign cars in this class) . The design was quite straightforward and utilitarian, but at that time quite modern.
5. Above the rear-view mirror - hours. Work still
6. Boarding door. Of course, in the 60 years she was a little worn out.
7. But the label for these 60 years not even burned. All the same glowing colors of the flag of the Soviet
8. Anyway, a copy of which served as a model for my story it is still on track, and I often see him on the streets of Sevastopol.
Incidentally, an interesting fact - on the "Moskvich-407" factory team participated in the rally "Thousand Lakes" and "Akropolis".
