Bucuresti 1979 x 16

Saisprezece poze din Bucuresti in decembrie 1979. Incepand cu 1979 se importau doua modele noi de masina - Lada 2101, si Skoda 120. Primele exemplare sun deja vizibile in aceste poze. Din nou, de interes este - in poza de langa Universitate - Dacia 1100 cu patru faruri, posibil un rarisim 1100S. In fundal, se vad unele masini occidentala care nu au fost importate oficial: Opel Rekord, Ford Taunus, Volvo 240, si, cel mai surprinzator, BMW seria 3. Bucurestiul arata gri si pustiu. Fata de imaginile surprinse cu cativa ani in urma, nu arata ca un oras prosper. Poate din aceasta cauza, si tinand in cont faptul ca nu prea mai veneau turisti straini, incapand cu aceata perioada pozele cu Bucuresti devin din ce in ce mai rare.

Sixteen pictures of Bucharest from December 1979. From 1979 two new models of car were imported - Lada 2101 and Skoda 120. The first examples can already be seen. Of further interest are the four-headlighted Dacia 1100 - possibly an ultra-rare 1100S - near the University. A few Western cars which would not have been imported officially can be seen: Opel Rekord, Ford Taunus, Volvo 240 and, most surprisingly, a BMW 3-Series. When compared to pictures taken just a few years earlier, Bucharest seems dull and grey, not at all propserous. Perhaps for this reason, as well as the decline in tourism from the West, from this period onwards photos of Bucharest become much rarer.
