| 1934 Soviet Russia USSR " Road and Car " Magazine #8 |
I'm reading Night Soldiers by Alan Furst. I've read it before but I'm not remembering anything so far. Around page 80 he mentions a couple of cars - the Pobieda and Stolypin.
The Pobeda didn't arrive till 1946. The books starts in 1934. It's a novel, no one cares what kind of car it was.
The Stolypin, according to Wikipedia, is not an an automobile but a railway car originally designed to transport farmers with their families, farm implements and animals to homestead in Siberia. Later it was used to transport convicts and other undesirables to Siberia.
While I was poking around I also came across this prototype.

Seems the west weren't the only ones obsessed with speed.
Note - Found this in my my Drafts folder. I originally wrote this three years ago, but didn't post it for some reason
