Classic Soviet cars

The USSR produced not so much models of cars. There were big and small cars, limos and vans, and lots of other. At that time nobody cared much about copyright stuff that’s why some Soviet cars are copies of some foreign Western cars. When adapting to domestic operating conditions, the car was thoroughly reworked by Soviet specialists. This book shows examples of how Soviet cars were copied from the foreign ones.
For example, GAZ A was a close copy of the Ford A. Howev- er, it was a licensed copy, and Ford Motors knew about its Russian cousin’s existence. The government’s limo ZIS 110 was copied from the Packard 180, Moskvich 400 from the Opel Kadett K38, and Chaika reminded the Packard Carribean. And that’s only a few examples. Reading the article you will learn much more information about classic Soviet cars.
