I also mentioned there that the Space Pavilion there was at the time hosting a car exhibition -- Auto Industry of the USSR. I made some pictures, and here they are.
Entering the exhibition.
Oldies on the ground floor in the middle, such as this GAZ AA truck.
Truth to tell, I am a bit wary of these examples. Obviously, they
were heavily restored but the line between restoration and replication
is a bit blurred here.
GAZ GL-1
GAZ M-415 pickup.
This is more after my taste -- GAZ M 20 V Pobeda.
ZiM GAZ-12.
Three Chaikas. the first one is a very interesting example.
It is a RAO (RAF) GAZ 13 S Chaika -- a Chaika customized by Riga Auto Plant (RAF).
Served as an ambulance car for senior party and government officials. One was gifted to Fidel Castro, I think.
