One point to the one who gives the right make and designation.
-
moved..
-
The driving position almost looks central, and the wiper normally would indicate left hand drive. Is it from a Soviet country/era?
-
Correct!
-
Nami 055b ?
-
I'd rather say Moskvitch 408/412 PT prototype "ВНИИТЭ-ПТ " (1964-1965), which was intended for a taxi. But I never saw a convertible...
-
Neither nor — at least that's what my source reports!
I need a name written in non-Cyrilliyc letters for this car....I only have one source on where this car is mentioned.
-
Made between 1956-1960?
-
am not sure, but think so! I'll check when I'm home again (on Saturday)
-
Pro-tein!
Sorry, don't know the year it was built..
-
You mean that this car was built?
-
Is it NAMI-related?
-
Not that I'm aware of
-
Is it an answer to both questions?
-
Oh sorry...
This is a real car, but do not know anything about how many were built.
-
Is it built as a prototype by any major manufacturer?
-
Maybe several cars were built, but I don't know. It was built by a pretty common make.
-
Is this make still manufacturing cars?
-
ZIL?
-
Not one of those
-
Is this make still manufacturing cars?
Obviousely.
-
GAZ?
-
Not GAZ...
-
Avtovaz? It'd be quite unbelievable
-
Not that!
-
Izh?
-
NO! ;D
-
Lada?
-
well, Avtovaz and Lada are the same, so how about Kamaz?
-
Even not Kamaz...
-
and not Lada
-
LuAZ?
-
No..
many of those guesses were close at least by the sound of the make's name...
-
ZAZ?
-
Yeeees! :)
-
but guess it's still some work to do..
-
Was Eduard Molchanov involved in its styling? Quite his style.
-
I don't know anyting except make and designation.
-
I give you a hint. The eponym lives in the water but it isn't a fish.... ;)
-
Dolphin?
-
Yes, you're almost there, but this is not a British or USAmerican car....
Yours till your next post.
(I don't know if this is the real and only name of this vehicle, but it's what my source reports)
-
So, is it as ZAZ Delfin (ЗАЗ дельфин)?
-
YES! I have this as ZAZ Delfin "Strandauto", but I guess at least the last part of the name is not authentic...
If someone has a more reliable designation I'll update the subject's title.
-
Strandauto is German. In Russian, google gives us Пляж автомобиля

I know that "Strandauto" is German. :eyebrow:
I found that car on a Hungarian source. Don't know why they name it that way.
Should I replace it with Cyrillic letters? :idea:
-

No kidding?
So, Strandauto meaning something like beach buggy, I guess it's not part of the name. Why don't you stick to just ZAZ Delphin?
-
It was (like I've mentioned before) part of the name on that source where I've found it.
Maybe or probably incorrect and unusual for a Russian car, but what if it was made for a GDR apparatchik and was baptized exactly with that name?
As long as I've got no other designation I leave it like that, but nevertheless thanks for your advice...
BTW: "Delfin" written with "f" is German as well.. (http://www.mysmilie.de/midi-smileys/frech/1/0029.gif) (http://www.mysmilie.de/smilies/frech/)
And "Delphin" with "ph" isn't Russian either.
@faksta or other puzzlers which are able to google in cyrillic words: would it possible to do a little more research?

I have never seen this car in any period Russian magazine...

the original pic:
(and for our Hungarian puzzlers: I'll PM the source if you would try to bring this obscure car a bit more to light.)
-
I'm trying my best, but nothing can be found yet. The numberplates are Soviet, not GDR, so I suppose the car is also Soviet. 'ЛБА' letters should mean that the car was registered in Tadjikistan (part of USSR then). I'll try to find more, because I'm very curious also. Is it from the book?
By the way, 'Пляж автомобиля', as Google translated 'Strandauto', means 'Beach of the car' - quite a doubtful translation :D
-
No I've got it from a Hungarian forum.

I never said it should be trusted. Google translations (as Babel Fish or such) are about as right as Brad Pitt's italian accent in "Inglorious Bastards"

I understood you, just couldn't stand and not to note that ::)
-
Found it. The article about this car was in #8-1972 of Modelist-Konstruktor magazine (USSR). The name was simply 'Delfin'. Here are the pages in Russian, I will translate the information, but will need some time :)
-
Wow great, though it is only a colored 'rendering' of the very same picture.
so, I simply have to change the name to 'Delfin' or should I add something referring to the make?
-
Simply Delfin, as it was a self-constructed car and it had no make.
-
:[ Just found it in my little library too... I'll try to get those pictures in a bit better quality if needed, soon...
