Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-08-21 14:50	But they had also gazes IMO.
Lateef ◊ 2012-08-21 14:56	Yes, there were definitely more Pobedas. They were very popular as taxis and the drivers liked them for being spacious and durable. The Volga M-21 enjoyed corresponding success in the 60s, but the Volga M-24 of the 70s helped decreasing the reputation of this proud Soviet marque in Norway. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 14:57:03
blinski ◊ 2012-08-21 15:56	Wow, according to this site (I don't know how reliable it is), 'if looking at the year 1958, cars built in the USSR counted for more than 20% of all new cars sold in Norway that year'. http://www.home.no/migreg/engelsk/othereast.html This, plus great number of American cars make post-war Norway probably the most diverse car market in Europe (or in the world?).

Pobeda taxis in Bucharest: Link to "3.bp.blogspot.com" . I love it, I have a scale model Pobeda. Lateef wrote The Volga M-21 enjoyed corresponding success in the 60s You had also Volga taxis? GAZ 21 Volga taxi in Bucharest, 3 july 1964 (the driver speaks french ): Link to "www.ina.fr" . We also had Warszawa 203 ( ) taxis, but never in Bucharest: http://fiat.3xforum.ro/img/pics/fiat.3xforum.ro/ok_22944.jpg . In the '80s, on the road home - school/school - home, it was a grey Warszawa 203 in perfect condition, like new, which fascinated me. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 17:14:33

Andre Malraux ◊ 2012-08-21 21:46	GAZ 24 Volga taxi: http://fiat.3xforum.ro/img/pics/fiat.3xforum.ro/ok_9210.jpg Moskvitch 407 taxi: /vehicle_338875-Skoda-1102-STW-Typ-938-1949.html Both in Bucharest. As a child, in the '80s, I traveled quite often in Dacia 1300 (Renault 12) taxis: /vehicle_376766-Dacia-1300-1982.html . I still remember the telephone number of the taxi company (only one at that time, owned by the state, of course ): 053, inscribed on all taxis, like the one in the photo. I also remember the mechanical (not electronical, like today) counter, which registered the number of km. The nostalgia of old taxis... -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 22:00:03
