Moskvich 433: a rare cargo van from the USSR

This time we want to tell you about the amazing legacy of the Soviet automobile industry in the form of the 433 Moskvich 1969. The rare cargo van became a striking example of minimalism and functionality in the automobile design of the USSR. Retro car collector Ilya Zibarev shares the story of his restored Moskvich in a video on the YouTube channel "Avtokultura". The car, which went on sale back in 1966, had a flat floor, a double-leaf rear door and corrugated sides. Simplicity and practicality made it popular not only in the Soviet Union, but also beyond its borders: up to 50% of the produced cars were exported to Europe.

The Moskvich 433 is not just a car, but a symbol of its time, which, unfortunately, many have either forgotten or did not even suspect its existence. Ilya emphasizes that the domestic auto industry can be not only an object of ridicule, but also an object of genuine pride, and the unique design of the Moskvich attracts attention at exhibitions to this day.
