Masina antebelica in Deva 1973 / Pre-war car in Deva, 1973

O spendida carte postala, circulata in 1973, cu orasul Deva (judetul Hunedoara). Langa Dacia 1100 si TV-4, se vede una din multele masini antebelice care inca circulau la inceputul anilor 70. Clar este de fabricatie europeana si nu americana, desi e greu de stabilit exact ce ar putea fi: posibil Skoda Popular, Stoewer, Fiat, sau Praga Piccolo. Pe parcursul deceniului, cam toate aveau sa dispara, poporul, din ce in ce mai propser, cumparandu-si masini noi...




A splendid postcard circulated in 1937 showing Deva city in Hunedoara county. Visible next to the Dacia 1100 and the TV-4, there is a prewar car, one of the many still going strong in 1970s Romania. It's not clear exactly what it is: clearly of European origin, possibly Skoda Popular, Stoewer, Fiat, or Praga Piccolo. Over the course of the decade, practically all such vehicles would disappear from Romanian streets, as an increasingly propserous country bought new cars en masse.
