Topic: Barrett's #77 - black hole candidate

[barrett]

Here's a little mystery for the pros, taken from IMCDB. A soviet homebuilt car dating from 1963 or earlier - any ideas? This one isn't in Arunas' very comprehensive database (I know, I just went through all of them!)

Looks like an SMZ S-3D based thing: wheels, rear engine, dimensions.

Can't be 1969, this was from 1963

I agree it's probably SMZ-based, but most of this type of car were

Yes, indeed, the most... What is the screenshot from? It's a current Russian channel, I know, but what the story was?

The film is 'Neobiknovenniy gorod' - directed by Victor Eysymont

Sorry, the car looks like but I realized it's 1971 ad the picture post is 1963

Some webpage of Cars in movies shows this car as appearing on a Russian TV Custom Made in Neobiknovenniy Gorod, Movie, 1963
