ZIS-110, 1949

Doar am sosit de la o saptamana in Rusia, Estonia si Latvia. Am ramas uimit, nu de ce au pe sosea ci de ce au in muzee! In curand voi prezenta muzeele de transport din Riga si Moskva si bogata lor colectie.

Pana atunci ceva cu iz sovietic: autoturisme ZIS-110 in Romania, 1949. Ocazia a fost o viita a delegatiei poloneza. (De remarcat ca masina nr 1 era un Buick nou nout. A fost o serie importata in acea perioada, din care un exemplar inca supravietuieste in stare proasta cu motor diesel.)




Just come back from a visit to Russia, Latvia and Estonia. I was amazed not by what they ave on the road but by their automotive museums, which I hope to present in due course.

Till then, something typically Soviet - ZIS cars in official use, 1949. The occasion is a visiting Polish delegation. Note tht the first car (just visible in one picture) is a brand-new Buick, from a series imported under the fledgeling Communist administration. One such car still survives, albeit in poor condtition.
