The inside of this Moskvitch 407 breathes pure Soviet nostalgia! Here are some of the interior features: Dashboard: Simple and functional, with a central speedometer that goes up to 140 km/h. This matches the top speed of about 115 km/h. Steering Wheel: A large, thin steering wheel with a striking decorative clock in the center. This is probably a personal addition by the owner. Upholstery: The steering wheel has a braided cover, something that was popular in the past for extra grip and comfort. Switches & Knobs: To the left of the steering wheel are switches for lights and other basic functions, while the ventilation buttons and heater control are to the right of the steering wheel. Old Soviet gauge units: The gauges display things like battery voltage (Ампер - Ampere) and fuel level (Бензин - Gasoline), in classic Cyrillic letters. This interior is a great snapshot of how cars were built in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s—rugged, minimalist, and functional.

De binnenkant van deze Moskvitch 407 ademt pure Sovjet-nostalgie! Hier zijn een paar kenmerken van het interieur: Dashboard: Simpel en functioneel, met een centrale snelheidsmeter die tot 140 km/u gaat. Dit past bij de maximale snelheid van ongeveer 115 km/u. Stuurwiel: Een groot, dun stuur met een opvallend decoratief klokje in het midden. Dit is waarschijnlijk een persoonlijke toevoeging van de eigenaar. Bekleding: Het stuur heeft een gevlochten hoes, iets wat vroeger populair was voor extra grip en comfort. Schakelaars & Knoppen: Links van het stuur zitten schakelaars voor de verlichting en andere basisfuncties, terwijl de ventilatieknoppen en de kachelregeling rechts van het stuur zitten. Oude Sovjet-meterunits: De meters tonen zaken als de accuspanning (Ампер - Ampère) en brandstofniveau (Бензин - Benzine), in klassieke Cyrillische letters. Dit interieur is een prachtig tijdsbeeld van hoe auto's in de jaren '50 en '60 in de Sovjet-Unie waren gebouwd—robuust, minimalistisch en functioneel.

The last thing you wanted to do back then is leave your car parked in the same spot for several days. That sent a clear message to car thieves, parts scavengers and arsonists.

Culm bank near McAdoo, PA. A culm bank is a waste pile from coal mining, and is also known as a spoil tip, boney pile, gob pile, waste tip or bing. The mining companies who left this are long gone.
With the kind help of doogal333 who went by my guidelines, I was able to rid myself of the ugly trailers in the background, and replace them with a beautiful natural setting which dramatically offsets the car. The grassy foreground, though, was retained. This Velie, with its rakish roadster lines, and ample brass accessories, is to me the quintessentiial antique car.
The Seal Cove Auto Museum features early automobiles and motorcycles from the Brass Era (1895-1917). Antique auto enthusiasts as well as those who simply enjoy autos from the past will delight in this unique collection.

The Museum hosts a number of events each year including special activity days, book signings, car talks, movies, and visits by rare Brass Era autos. Check our events page for more information.
