Excursion to the hangar of secret UAZ vehicles that were not released into the series
The fact that it is high time to change the design of the UAZ car is not only lazy. It seems that the famous "loaf" is kept unchanged as a memory of the "good old days." But did you know that there is a whole hangar of unrealized models of Ulyanovsk minibuses? Among them there is even a long-range version of the cabin with a sleeping bag. Or a minimalist car that has an ashtray instead of a dashboard! Well, that's an interesting design decision. Just right for such a conservative car as UAZ.


By the way, the first UAZ-450 began to be produced back in 1958. This model stood on the factory assembly line until 1965. During this time, they managed to assemble more than 55 thousand such delivery vehicles. It differed from the “UAZ face” familiar today by the presence of an original longitudinal radiator lining. He also lacked a rear side door, and boarding or loading was carried out through the rear doors. The legendary “loaf” that appeared after that could have received a cool restyling in the early 90s, but it didn’t work out. It was planned to install jeep accessories and new stylish twin headlights with built-in turn signals. Yes, a lot of interesting developments have remained only material for lovers of automotive history. You can learn more about such forgotten prototypes from the video from the HiTachka channel.
