Classics from 80s. Automobile of a dream for city roads or go to a country house place. So, it is soon, almost here, a country house season to start. In may. Retro design. And retro style. A little celebration time for all oldschool fans.

Today such automobile – it is a real rare thing. Retro car from age of USSR. Not every day you can this car at the streets. But, I think, that I start more often to see these cars at the streets. And also, even more – I find in the internet Moskvitch show. About racing with old cars.

I am weak in models. But it is more often I can see on the wheels retro cars at the streets. Also, from age of USSR. That is a very positive evet. So, I have seen automobile Volga at the streets. Grey color. It was going by the street road, with a visual -  like a new. And I was impressed. But maybe, maybe, it is not a american luxury car from 60s or 70s. Somekind Mustang class. Or, yes, it is not a sport car from 80s taken from American movies. But it is still ok car to ride, to ride the city, go to a country by car. And even to race with friends - it is good enough!

And also, it was a sport better built up versions. I know. For rally. And it is as a idea – it is actually new car series. So it is even possible to have a rally level. And I heard, that some cars, were built up even more better and they go for export series.

1987 ZIL-4102, the Soviet Cadillac.

Only 3 were made because of production issues, it took inspiration from certain cadillac and mercedes models at the time, and was going to be offered with v6 and v8 engine options, apparently one of the engine options would have a 315 hp 7.7 liter V-8 petrol engine.
