Buses of the Soviet period, which few people remember

Moving further and further away from the Soviet period, it is very important to preserve the history of the automobile industry of the great country. One of its niches was the production of buses for various needs of the national economy. Famous models can still be found on the roads of our country today. But there were also those that were produced in small batches, or even in single copies. This video will talk about them.

GAZ-654 ("Sochi"), LAZ-360E, three-axle bus-cross-country vehicle Tosno Automobile Plant and many other unusual buses will find their place in the video story, which I invite you to listen to and watch.

You will also learn about experiments in pre-war Moscow, when they tried to introduce “London” type salons here. Yes, yes, 2-decker buses were not only in Foggy Albion!

By cars with a "convertible" type body today will not surprise anyone. But there were convertible buses. Moreover, they were made on the chassis of one of the most popular "Gazon" models. It seems more like a regular bus, from which the top part was cut off!

In the post-war period, regular buses were often used as a substitute for buses. trucks with longitudinally installed benches for passengers. Of course, the Soviet people, who had experienced considerable hardships, were happy about this.

And how not to remember the "accordion" buses. How their short and not very successful history developed, as well as many other things, you will learn from the video “The Most Unusual Soviet Buses”. We thank the authors of the channel "Kostas TV [AUTO USSR]" for a wonderful excursion into the history of the domestic automotive industry!
