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.

Photo taken at the Dariali Monastery near the border of Georgia and Russia.

 

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. Foto genomen bij het Dariali klooster vlakbij de grens tussen Georgië en Rusland.

This is a Moskvitch, a classic Soviet car that was popular in the second half of the 20th century. The specific car in the photo appears to be a Moskvitch 407, produced between 1958 and 1963. This car was one of the better Soviet models at the time and was known for being durable and relatively easy to repair. This example still has an old Soviet-style license plate, indicating that it is a well-preserved classic.

Populariteit: Bekend om zijn betrouwbaarheid en werd geëxporteerd naar verschillende landen, waaronder West-Europa. Deze auto was destijds één van de betere Sovjet-modellen en stond bekend als duurzaam en relatief eenvoudig te repareren. Dit exemplaar heeft nog steeds een oude Sovjet-achtige kentekenplaat, wat aangeeft dat het een goed bewaard gebleven klassieker is.

Thank you, in advance, to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.

 

1937 Delage D8-120 Coupe Aerosport

 

The Aerosport was designed by Letourneur et Marchand and featured pillarless “hardtop” styling and a fin on the trunk. The styling was so highly regarded that an Aerosport was one of a pair of Delages chosen to represent the French government at the automotive display at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

 

Discovered in a barn in France during the early 1990’s, this Delage received a meticulous restoration and is painted its original colors.
