GAZ M20 Pobeda

Cea mai des importata masina in Romania anilor 50. Costa 75,000 lei, dar foarte putini au cuparata asa ceva ca masina particulara, fiind vorba de o perioada unde orice bun burghez era vazut cu mare suspiciune. Putine au supravietuit, cel mai bun exemplar fiind un model 4x4 in Bucuresti. La Piatra Neamt inca mai circula (e frept, foarte rar) un exemplar nerestaurat. Restul sunt cam in stare de epava si nu cred sa existe mai mult de 20.

Cateva poze de epoca, pre 1966...







The most often imported car in 1950s Romania, the Pobeda as freely available for sale at 75,00 let, although few found their way into private hands, such bourgeois goods being regarded as deeply suspicious. A handful survive, the best being a 4x4 version in Bucharest. There is also an old man in Piatra Neamt who uses his as his only car, about twice a year. The rest are in terrible condition; I do not think there are more than about 20 left.
