In the neighbour town there was a large Tatra dealership and garage, so large that they built own conversions, heavy duty, with cranes and so on.

But nothing is left over, now there's a Burger King, a carwash and a fitness gym.

Some years ago I spotted around there a Tatra 815 6x6 still used by a local building company, but I dont know, if it's still alive.

Nationwide this company was noticed in 1968 - when 150 total angry Tatra owners met there some factory people for a protest about the lousy quality

( yep, the Volga gets laughted at but when you see notes he gave to cars like Mercedes S 500 , BMW 750 IL and Lexus LS 400 , not sure if he can be trusted or just downrate them for fun.. )

there was a YT channel with Soviet/Russian cars in US but i don't remember / can't find it back

I never get why Americans laugh at the Volga for being "hilariously outdated" in the 1980s, yet come from the country that that same year still made the Buick Estate Wagon, Omni/Horizon, Cadillac Brougham, heck, even the Jeep Wagoneer, all of which had been in production about as long as the Volga at the time.

Why would a Volga be in Los Angeles to begin with? I think that's the funny part, not that it looks like an early 1960s car. I guess they were afraid to use an American model and face cooyright lawsuits?
