• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

'How Russians Cruised In The 1950s'

the front fenders/headlights look like packard units..or maybe lincoln primier..but look at a 56 packard carribean front end..looks the same headlight bucket..the rear fender treatment looks familure as well
 
The Japanese used to take western designs, copy them, miniaturize them and improve upon them so much so that we ditch our own and take up theirs. The Russians take Western design, make them bigger, noiser, more polluting and uglier. But even then we have a fondness for them. lol
It's a funny old world.
 
Oh wow! What a blast from the past.

Back in the early eighties, I was studying for my Political Science degree. I specialize in Soviet government and international relations. Well, we spent such an inordinate amount of that time studying that car to gain implied meaning.

Back in the old days of "Kremlinology," when fragments of information, such as standing positions at the May Day Parade, was considered a gold mine of information on how that government operated!
