Inhaltsangabe
This extraordinarily detailed and fully illustrated study charts the history of Soviet cars from the birth of the Soviet Union in 1917 until its demise in 1990, with a conclusion about the post-Soviet era. Essentially it is the story of an insular, state-run car industry in which the carefully thought-out ideas of ministerial planners, rather than the fickle nature of customers in a free market, determined what cars were made. The cars of the Soviet Union therefore have a unique heritage: designed for a social purpose, influenced by politicians, built with military needs in mind and sold in a country where the open road was often a 300-mile track across a windswept steppe. This is a fascinating book, full of rarely seen photographs and illustrations, largely in colour, that will interest classic car enthusiasts everywhere.

There is a small glued down card to the former owner affixed to the front endpaper opposite the title page. "What made the Soviet motor industry so different was its unique background.

For more than 70 years, cars and vans were designed and built not to win greater market share but to meet a clear social and economic purpose. ". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 49645
