50 Vintage Pics Show Cars of the Soviet Union From Between the 1950s and ’70s

The automotive industry in the Soviet Union spanned the history of the state from 1929 to 1991. It started with the establishment of large car manufacturing plants and reorganisation of the AMO Factory in Moscow in the late 1920s–early 1930s, during the first five-year plan, and continued until the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991.

Before its dissolution, the Soviet Union produced 2.1-2.3 million units per year of all types, and was the sixth (previously fifth) largest automotive producer, ranking ninth place in cars, third in trucks, and first in buses.

Soviet industry exported 300,000-400,000 cars annually, mainly to Soviet Union satellite countries, but also to Northern America, Central and Western Europe, and Latin America.

    1. I went to college in Canada. And the Lada sold reasonably well. The big selling point was they started well in the cold.❄️ I myself had a Yugo. It was a great basic car. Never gave me an trouble.

  3. Several of the Ladas seem to be very Fiat inspired. The Moskvitch looks very like a Hillman.

    1. The first gen Lada is a fiat 124 with modified drivetrain. It was cheaper from them to make copy a car then develop a brand new one

  4. And you only had to wait five years to buy one!

  5. I had a Lada 1200 and a 1300, fun to drive, but only reliable motors, odd breakable solutions for other things. And yes the original Lada was licensed from FIAT.
