Near us lives an old couple, who owns one car only. Not so strange, you will think. But it's quite extraordinary. It was made in giant Russia - far away from our tiny Slovenia. This 80 years old man, the proud owner of the Volga GAZ 24 fell in love with it way before March 1979, when he bought it. How many miles he drove with it in all these years he doesn't know, because the counter resets after 1000 kilometers are driven.
Russians weren't joking when they made this practical and comfortable car. They made it huge, almost 5 meters long, with robust chassis, and it's hight - just perfect for Russian country roads.
It was almost the road tank with its 2,4-liter engine, with 70kW and approximately 1.5 ton of weight.
I could go on and on, how modern was this car when it was built, but I think the following two photos will make you interested to browse a bit more about its history.
Have fun searching for more. ;)
