Just for fun: Stalin fan's car

These pics were also sent to me by another forum member and a fellow with a good sense of humor. I don't know where they were taken (looks like a European background) and I would love to know what kind of car it is.

Regardless, somebody really has a thing for the "not-so-good ol' days.":rolleyes:

It just dawned on me that this might be more appropriate in the "General Talk" section. Sorry. If anyone can move it, that would be great.:thumbsup

They're either than or the best the owner could do for Kremlin tower stars.:)

He/she also managed to incorporate many of the (in)famous propaganda pictures and paintings of Stalin as the caring benefactor of the Soviet Union and its people...:rolleyes:

Re: Just for fun: Stalin fan's car

Altough I don´t like the main topic of the car, the guy who painted it (if made by hand, of course) was quite skilled. He/she did a very good job at reproducing socialist realism motifs.

BTW, fans of the "not-so good times" are everywhere. Regardless of any country that had a dictatorship, there will always be a percentage of people (usually 35%, at least in South America) that will think their leader did good, crying out any excuse for a reason they may think of.

Re: Just for fun: Stalin fan's car

I wonder why this one car didn´t show up at Pimp my Ride in MTV. :D
Could have skyrocketed that channel´s level by only showing it.

As "Generalissimus" I think Art is obliged to like this car.:D

Has anyone figured out what kind of car this is? I recognize it, but I can't recall the name.
