F#172 - Solved - 1959 Moskva (Goldin Special)
« on: July 28, 2012, 09:42:10 AM »
I see many of autopuzzlers have already posted their avatar cars as puzzles, so it's time for me to do that.

For one point, what car is this?

Not that one, we've had that car already. You're right about the country, though.

None of the above, but woodinsight is a bit closer, as it is a privately built special (the car is featured in the webs, to be mentioned).

Right you are! Moskva was based on GAZ 20 and later got GAZ 21 engine as it was rebuilt after a big crash. Pictured is Goldin in 1959.

Goldin was a successful driver, but was killed in 1965 during a race around Luzhniki sports complex when after a mechanical failure his Melkus 63 lost control. After this accident racing in Luzhniki sports complex was abandoned for many decades.
