Weasel1984 ◊ 2011-05-13 20:02	IMO these front repeaters are debatable. I mean, perhaps they indeed were already known before 1976-78, like some sources want, but I doubt all cars had them. However 1973 (or even 1972) might be indeed, due to this mirror, which as I've just noticed might be older (and new shape of front indicators). Do not know if you have seen this site already (and confirmed or denied their info) - Link to "gaz24.ru" -- Last edit: 2011-05-13 20:14:03

Nightrider ◊ 2011-05-18 20:10	That site have nice tendency to show superiority of Volga over US cars.)
Weasel1984 ◊ 2011-05-18 21:46	Maybe it is based on period press materials.
Nightrider ◊ 2011-05-18 21:51	No kidding.) Alot of talking about overrated horsepower ratings in US, and conclusions, that Sovet V8 engines (even low-compression truck versions) were not only adequate in output, but even superior.
