Masinile Chisinaului / The Cars of Chisinau

Si Chisinaul avea o cultura auto interesanta in perioada interbelica. Astazi, foarte putine masini au supravietuit de dinainte de razboi - cunosc numai un Packard din 1938, alb, desi probabil sunt mai multe. Sursele sunt mai multe. O mare parte sunt de pe oldchisinau.com (link), aratand curse auto in 1928 si 1929 - o resursa extraordinara. Ca de obicei in Romania interbelica, vasta majoritate a masinilor erau de origine americana.

Chisinau had an interestuing automotive culture in the inter-war period. Today, very few cars from then have survived - I know only of a white 1938 Packard though there are probably a few more. The images here come from a number of sources. Quite a few are from oldchisinau.com (link), showing races held in 1928 and 1928. As was normal in interwar Romania, the vast majority of cars were of American origin.
