Why did Ikarus need protective glasses on the headlights?

The coolest Soviet by bus Of course, in the 80s there was Ikarus. And no one paid attention to the fact that it was produced in Hungary. Everyone considered it their own. Just like Jawa or Cezet.

Deliveries of comfortable buses from the Central European country were started in the late 60s. The old models of Ikarus, with a relief back, are now remembered by few. But the models of the “35th” family will probably be remembered by each of us belonging to the “XNUMX+” category.

Our country received two modifications of this liner. One, made in yellow, was intended for domestic trips over short and medium distances. Another, red, was intended for long-distance or international trips. Therefore, for many, he was known as "Ikarus-Intourist".

The latest model, Ikarus-250, was equipped with more comfortable seats, a special spacious luggage compartment and many other nice bonuses. Additional fame brought her participation in the Soviet feature film "Bus Driver". We can say that the bus itself played one of the main roles in it.

But the "250th" model had other features. The author of the channel "Mountain of Autofacts" spoke about them very interestingly. Watch the video until the end for all the details.
