Izh 412

 And here is a very fine specimen of the Izh 412 (Moskvitch-412) car.

With a pair of yellow fog lights too!

The Izh 412 is the Moskvitch 412 model but produced by Izh at its Izhevsk plant, rather than by the Moskvitch factory in Moscow.

The Izh-412 is a small family car produced by IZh in Izhevsk from 1967 to 1982 (also known as Izh-412), a near total copy of the Moskvitch 412.

This one is a pre-1969 mode, and don't you just love the fascia!

It has running lights on the C pillar too.

The green green grass of home.

The number 4 Izh 412 car on blog.

No fin taillights though any more (like on the 408).

Museum 1956-85 Moskvitch Cars

This is from one of my other blogs, VreMax, where I reported on this car exhibition that I visited a year ago - in August of 2014. 

This entry is about the Moskvitch cars I saw there, and I continue verbatim from the other blog.

Cannibalising my own earlier post on a car exhibition -- basically raiding it for pictures of the Moskvitch to use in this post which will be in my Moskvitch Cars series.

In chronological order, top to bottom

Moskvitch Izh 412 Rally car. I believe it was also known as Moskvitch Elite 1500

Moskvitch 2137 Wagon Rally car

This car is in the 2012 (?) Silk Way Rally livery, however it did not officially take part in the rally but just went along for the entire length of it out of competition.

This car is also notable as the last of Soviet cars to still feature taillight fins to accommodate gate opening, until the model was discontinued in 1985.
