ZAZ, Lada, Ural, SZD in Car Themed Arts Installations

From my other blog, VreMax...

Continuing with pictures from the historic car show at Moscow's VDNKh that I visited in March this year 2015 -- Cars of Our Back Yard -- USSR cars.

Not the first car-themed show I saw at the location -- in August last year we saw Car Industry of the USSR.

But that time I was lazy to make too many photos. This time however I made over 200!

So it is in parts.

Part 1 - the Moskvitch -- is here -- Part 1 Moskvitch Cars.

Part 2 -- ZAZ cars -- is here -- Part 2 Zaporozhets Cars.

Part 3 -- Moto -- is here -- Part 3 Old Russian Motorcycles, Mopeds, etc

Part 4 - Lada cars -- is here -- Part 4 Lada Cars

Part 5 - Volga cars -- hit this link -- the Volga automobile.

Part 6 - Pobeda cars -- Part 6 the Pobeda GAZ M-20 Automobile

And now please enjoy Part 7 - the last part - topical exhibits.

Back Yard Garage Exhibit featuring a ZAZ-965


It's a Zaporozhets, a mini-sized, air-cooled rear-engined car.








You can have a good look at this air-cooled engined. Look how easy it is to work on - plenty of access.


So who wants to take it apart and put it back together again?



The vodka bottle is for laughs.



The SMZ mobility car... issued free of charge to handicapped people.







At-a-Picnic Exhibit featuring a Moskvitch-423 Wagon.




Moskvitch-423 Universal meaning "Wagon" or "Estate".











Police vehicles - a Lada VAZ-2103 (not everything authentic) and a Urals motorcycle rig.



As I said not everything looks authentic to the period on this one.




The Ural rig.







Bonus: a trip down memory lane and right to an old telephone booth in the USSR.



Coin-operated pay phone.
