This is a conversion on the basis of Moskvitch 427. The model is made by Saratov during The Soviet Union in scale 1:43. It has suspension and the hood opens.
Since 1969, when the production of station wagons 427 and vans 434 with the UZAM-412 engine began, all small cars of the Moscow plant bear the abbreviation AZLK (Automobile Plant named after Lenin Komsomol). Since 1969, all models have been equipped with a collision steering column and space for fastening seat belts. The popularity of these high-quality models in foreign markets was very high, because more than half of the annual production of MZMA at the end of the 1960s was exported (and this is with the most severe shortage of passenger cars in our country).
In 1971, all models are undergoing restorations, which affected the replacement of a number of interior parts, the radiator lining with a new one with rectangular headlights and the solution of the rear end, which was equipped with horizontally extended brake lights and turn signals above them in the form of triangles. Vans and station wagons began to be equipped with a lifting single-leaf rear door, the design of the rear part was not changed. Additional letters in the indices of Muscovites meant: E - export | P - right-hand drive | Yu - in tropical performance | K - car-set (disassembled) | И - special export version (compliance with Swedish passive safety standards) | M - for the medical service | T - taxi | B - with manual control (only model 408). A significant change was the replacement in May 1974 of the rear axle with a new one, with a wider track (it is not interchangeable with the bridges of the previous types), at the same time the shape of the instrument dials was changed. These cars, once considered very high quality, reliable and unpretentious, now almost fell into the category of antique.
