electra225 ◊ 2015-08-20 16:34	Not so sure about a genuine Mercedes: possibly a... "Mercedised" other sedan.

Ingo ◊ 2015-08-20 19:06	moskvichok wrote http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRlKvQvZOUM There are at least three cars. At first in the clip it's a 1968+ W115, the interior (0:33 onwards) is from a bigger Benz (W108? W111?) due the thick wood on the doors and about the boom-Benz I'm not sure, it's a mock-up. The grille and front hood is from a W115, too, but the rest looks somehow wrong, so the roofline is too low.

moskvichok ◊ 2015-08-20 22:30	By the way, this scene begins the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UUWPHKRJO4

Ingo ◊ 2015-08-20 23:02	moskvichok wrote Volga in the USSR was exactly like this, being the most expensive and luxurious cars available in the country. In the DDR it was available only for the Nomenklatura and taxi-VEBs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkseigener_Betrieb), for private persons only after they were passed down the steps as worn out clunkers. In West Germany it was never offered.
electra225 ◊ 2015-08-20 23:19	In Italy The Volga M24 was on sale for a short while in the early '70 (1971-73) and again between late 1976 and 1978.

In West Germany it was never offered. In the USSR had a similar situation: GAZ-24 mainly was used officials, police, taxi (sedan 24-01 and wagon 24-04), ambulance (24-03). Private persons could buy a new GAZ-24, but for 9000 rubles - with an average wage of about 150 rubles. You had a great chance to get new GAZ-24, if you are a famous actor, worker, sportsman, etc. -- Last edit: 2015-08-20 23:53:45
Ingo ◊ 2015-08-21 00:16	When I remember I had just two experiences with Russian cars, both at DDR-visits. With a 1977 "Mossi" of aquaintances in 1989 and a Wolga GAZ-24 -of course a taxi- in 1988.
130rapid ◊ 2015-08-22 11:48	I have no doubt Volga was playing Mercedes in crash & blow-up scene. Moskvichok, we need another pure W115 picture.

slon95 ◊ 2015-08-22 22:03	It was a fierce fire, if the Mercedes suddenly became Volga.

Ingo ◊ 2015-08-30 20:38	I thought about a W100 http://pics.imcdb.org/18686/000066280.jpg but by the other interior-pic it's quite sure a W108
