Gerd, thanks for sharing this. I would never have thought the Soviets would have advertising-- particularly on cars--or something showing any features of a car. Notice it is in English so must have been for someone besides their citizens.

Always thought only the important or favored people could get a car in the Soviet Union and then only when and what the govt said they could have. This almost makes it look like the ordinary citizen had a choice and could go out and buy one. Is that the case?
