Soviet Collector Cars



The Soviet 41045
According to BBC, more and more people are collecting cars from the Soviet era of time. While Ronald Reagan may have called the USSR "the evil empire," many United States collectors can now be seen driving one of those "evil empire's" beauties. While the cars may not exactly be the most graceful of beasts (one man just flat out admits that "It drives like a 60-year old Russian car."), they continue to grow in popularity due to their decently pretty exterior. They may not be the safest of cars, such as the Audi A6, Chevrolet Trax, Buick Encore, Kia Sorento, and Nissan Sentra, but what they lack in safety and features, they make up for in beauty and taste. Many Soviet cars such as the 41045 and ZiL continue to be seen in various locations in America. While I personally am not extremely interested in Soviet and Russian products, I do find the cars to be decently, if not extremely, attractive cars. If the price was right, I would not mind owning a vintage Soviet car, as I personally love almost all vintage cars. I hope to see more vintage cars on the street, no matter what country they originate from.
