    @Foozy Ploosh Room: Actually, the original Volga M21 looked more like a '53 Ford:



    We joke about the Volga now, but when you compare it with most other 1956 European sedans, it looks pretty up to date. Until the mid 1960s or so, the Soviets made a fairly brave effort to keep up with styling trends. It wasn't until the Brezhnev era that the really serious stagnation set in.

    No matter where you are from, there are certain cars from your youth that induce an irresistable magnetic attraction. I'm sure Mr. Putin has such reasons for the 1956 Volga. It actually gives me great comfort knowing that he is kind of a car guy and appreciates these sorts of things. The photos don't inspire the snark for me today.

    @DoctorNine:


    Only reason why he drove the Volga around is cause its virtually indistingushable from one made 10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45+yrsd ago..


    Like the Corolla..
    And or the Beetle..


    Hardly anyone is going to notice the difference.

    Personally, I don't know why Putin doesn't drive one of these bad asses around.



    It's more fitting with his "I can kill you if I stare at you long enough, and nobody will suspect me, because I make Ivan Drago look like one of those Russian dolls, you know, the smallest one. I'm Putin" look.
