Excellent sample!  Note removed wipers, scarce parts in mid 70s USSR, probably most wanted by parking thiefs. .gif ";)") |

Wipers were obviously really a problem in the Soviet Union. I've read some books from people, mainly foreign correspondents, who had been there in the 70ies and 80ies. Everyone wrote the same, that it was a kind of ritual, always to take the wipers with you, when you have left the car. About the other COMECON-countries I haven't heard that. Only, that Mercedes-owners shall mount the star off before. Indeed, these capitalistic symbols were always getting lost in the first night there.  Right besides my PC here, there is one star hanging, from my grand-father's W123. In spring 1978, on the way to Elbing/Elblag and Danzig/Gdansk, a parking-thief tried to get it, but couldn't make it. And when it has happend? Sure, in the first night, in Schwerin.  |

There was a similar problem in Greece - well, Corfu, anyway - in the 70s; the car-rental office where we hired a Fiat 500 advised us to remove the wiper blades when leaving the car unattended. I usually forgot, but the one evening when it did rain I watched the guy in the Škoda Octavia next to me struggling to fit his blades ... whereupon it stopped raining. |

Ironically, the plate is from a 1990 24-10... |
