Rubles for Wrecks

Hard to believe, but the Gaz Volga 31105 is the latest and most modern version of a car that dates back to the 1960's. OK, not so hard to believe. (Gaz)

The rugged little 4x4 Lada Niva started production in 1977 and never looked back. Still, it comes with a piece of technology you can't even buy on a new American automobile: a carburetor. (Lada)
