Welcome to the exhibition of antiquarian and self-made machinery items that took place in Moscow.
The Oldtimer-Gallery is the sole in Russia and the biggest in the Eastern Europe specialized exposition of antiquarian machinery items. The Show is held two times a year, with the latest one to take place on 15-18 September 2011 at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow. This very exhibition was devoted to an unusual theme of self-made cars collected on the whole territory of the former USSR. The cars used to be widely popular in 1970-80 and are completely unique as many of them exist only as one copy.
In Soviet days it was not easy to become an owner of a car as one needed much money and a lot of patience for that to sweat a long line of people waiting for their turn to get a car. Besides, car assortment left much to be desired. So, it was natural for people to create cars that looked different from those massively produced.
This KD is one of 6 self-made cars created in the period from 1963 to 1969. Its body was made of fiberglass reinforced plastic.
Brothers Anatoly and Vladimir Scherbinin decided to build a sports car GTSCH. The car was supplied with a two-seated bodywork of the “Gran Turismo” (hence the name – GT of Shcherbin). GTSCH was powerful and fast. The car weighs 1,250 kg. Due to a powerful motor it can travel with the speed of up to 150 km/h.

The body of the car that has never been made consists of fiberglass reinforced plastic.

Some people wanted their cars to remind of foreign vehicles that were impossible to purchase that time.
The Buggy Solo model was created in 1980 by Scherbinin brothers.
Pangolina of 1983 looks like the one depicted at turbo chewing gum stickers.
This is the only model left.
The Yuna 1982 was created by Natalia and Yuri Algebraistovy and reshaped during the next 30 years. It looks quite modern and nice even today.
An unusual hybrid of a plane, GAS truck and ski scooter that can travel through roads covered with snow.

This modern model is created by the team of Shustrov Cars.
The body of the Fox 2011 is made of composite materials and weighs 60 kg.
This is a replicar of Yakovlev & Frese, the first automobile built in Russia that was introduced in 1896. Since those time only one picture had been left that was used by many people in their attempts to reconstruct the car.
Meet the first registered car Benz Patent Motorwagen. Its parameters are very modest as the car has three wheels, one cylinder, one transmission unit, and a hand lever instead of handle bar.

Jon Gotti called he says that he wants his red Cadillac Coupe DeVille back.And that hot rod the cars used where made in the 1920s and 1930s the orginal style hot rods where made by americans from the late 40s to the 1960s by then Detriot started selling muscle cars and they became the trend many people in the US today have Street Rods which are modern many times replica cars like a 32 Coupe with a modern big block which is what that Dodge is more in the style of a true Hot Rod would be an original car and have an original era modified engine the Ford V-8 flat head being the most popular.
Nice to see those cars are being preserved
The W 124 is an w201 or Mercedes 190(E).
I’d love to drive a ’67 Dodge Charger with a 426 HEMI motor again. I guess those days are gone forever.
I like the old little Soviet cars. I’d rather have a selection of them than any of the newer Mercedes. Benz has lost the ball in car design, they all look like streamlined soap dishes. No soul.
The green rusty car is definitely NOT east german.
The red&white VW is actually second generation of Transporters, 59-67 and the white one the third, 1968 and onwards.
Red&white is also a luxury version of Microbus, Sonderbus as the factory called it with roof windows, big roof hatch and luxury interior.
Very expensive even in Germany at that time, you could almost buy two Beetles with the price of one Sonderbus.
