Car Show Car Exhibits Part 7

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 with - plenty of access.


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

ZAZ Cars - Zaporozhets

Another car show at Moscow's VDNKh -- 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.

And now I present Part 2 -- ZAZ cars - Zaporozhets.

All Zaporozhets, except the very last one called Tavria, were small rear-engined, rear wheel drive cars, air-cooled.

1960 ZAZ 965, 1960-69, the first Zaporozhets (Zaporozhets is a local version of the Cossack).



The organizers claim its 965 and the fascia certainly corresponds.


Unusual color, though.




1962 ZAZ 965A, 1962-69





For some reason they are missing the side moldings like on this one.
