On this afternoon’s walk I discovered this beautiful car enjoying the autumn sunshine near the railway bridge in my neighborhood. I haven’t seen it before. The tall person said it is a Soviet era Volga Gaz-21 from the mid 1960s.
The car’s external design was made by Lev Yeremeev and was largely influenced by Western vehicles of the same period, American in particular.
I think it has a very happy face.
It’s owner must be very proud of it because it has been parked on a pedestal overlooking the road.
The tall person said “They don’t make cars like this anymore”. I know tall person, they stopped production in 1970!

Ooh, that’s a cool car!
Ok, Bassa, I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you, and I hope you don’t mind. When I look at the “dog” posts in WordPress (they’re supposed to be the posts with dog-related tags, though I’ve found that many of them don’t have dog or anything similar in the tags), you’re always one of the top five. How do you do that?
I really don’t know Andrea. I should pay more attention to things like that.
That is a cool car. And it does look like it has a big smile on the front! Pretty neat.
It’s 45 years old but is in perfect condition and obviously well looked after 🙂
My person says it does look like some American cars from long ago. She doesn’t see many around any more and most of those she does see are in car shows. -Bongo
There are lots of old cars here Bongo, some are very well cared for. I sometimes think I’m living in the 1950s and 1960s 🙂
Bassa, I love that you see the happy face on this car. I don’t think I would have seen that unless you had pointed it out, but you are right. Dogs are so wise!
Thank you Laurie. Some cars look very happy. This one had been well looked after and seemed to be extra happy 🙂
