Yes, I agree the front 3/4 angle has a distinctly Moskvich look to it, but the rear panels are too big, so my money's on the Opel, too. martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Moskvich had larger wheelarches than that, and had a bit more style than the Opels. What's the script on the rear wing though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the script on the rear wing though? They quite often had the model name 'Olympia' on the rear flanks. I think it denotes a higher trim level than the standard Rekord. Edit: Another possibility is 'CaRaVan' which was used on the estate version, on which the van was based. However, the only photographs I can find with a scripted van say 'olympia.'

Oh, and the rear wing doesn't look quite right. So if not a Moskvitch, what is it? As others have said i am also pretty sure the van on the right is an Opel Rekord like below.

Yoss Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 17 hours ago, Dyslexic Viking said: Oslo Norway 1960s This like so many others on this thread is a great picture but I sometimes wonder why it was taken in the first place. I mean what was it a picture of? There are lots of pictures here that seem to be of random car parks which is great for us 60 years later but we wouldn't go out and take a photo of a modern car park now. But if we did somebody in 2082 would be gushing about the Hyundai i10 like their grandad used to have. So fair play to all those people who had the foresight to take pictures of what must have been rather dull street scenes at the time. Especially back in the 60s when every picture taken would have cost a measurable amount of money. Everyone films everything these days so I actually doubt that people looking back in 60 years from now will look at todays pictures the way we look at these. Anyway, keep up the good work. lisbon_road, Andrew353w, lesapandre and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's just a post war prefab . They built thousands of them as temporary housing just after WW2. See Isle of Dogs ...hundreds of them , in rows upon rows . That poor lady probably had her legs blown off by a German bomb .. and lost her house , and pet dog . So she was given a prefab and new dog like most of them . That' s why it's got called Isle of Dogs ( I love dogs...) get it ? maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
