Lateef ◊ 2012-08-21 14:56	Yes, there were definitely more Pobedas. They were very popular as taxis and the drivers liked them for being spacious and durable. The Volga M-21 enjoyed corresponding success in the 60s, but the Volga M-24 of the 70s helped decreasing the reputation of this proud Soviet marque in Norway. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 14:57:03
blinski ◊ 2012-08-21 15:56	Wow, according to this site (I don't know how reliable it is), 'if looking at the year 1958, cars built in the USSR counted for more than 20% of all new cars sold in Norway that year'. http://www.home.no/migreg/engelsk/othereast.html This, plus great number of American cars make post-war Norway probably the most diverse car market in Europe (or in the world?).
