AutoMuseum

Sochi 2017

The history of the Soviet passenger car is closely connected with the history of our country. Automotive industryappeared in the far thirties, when the young Soviet republic, which created its economy, began to need vehicles. They turned to the Americans for help, and after a while the automobile plant andthe first Soviet cars appeared in the USSR.

In the museum there is my favorite brand of car Volga GAZ-21.

GAZ-21

The year of manufacture of this car is 1959–1970. Volga 21 became a lover of the Russian market almost immediately. Even now she has her fans. Technical specifications have long been outdated.

The chief designer of the car

The machine was equipped with an electric windshield wiper with two brushes, a rear-view mirror, two sun visors, a heater and a windscreen heater, an ashtray and a cigarette lighter. In the instrument panel there was a box for small items and a portable radio receiver with a button adjustment was attached. Panoramic windscreen without the usual central rack and wide rear window provided the driver with an exceptional view.

Bright coloring, mirror lines of chrome, advanced wide-hood hood, smoothed, like licked powerful jets of the oncoming wind wings, abruptly broken side lines, powerful headlights under glittering eyelids-peaks.
