Some shitty old Skoda ambulances

 

A Czech friend told me that the suspension was so bad in these that they were known to contribute to people's deaths on the way to the hospital.

Some brilliant stuff on the British Pathe page on YouTube (be sure to mute the volume when you arrive at their page as some annoying yank is nattering on about how great their videos are)

 

 

Some lovely 70s Eastern Bloc action!  

 

 

 

Perfect for any road sign pervs on here...

 

 

 

 

More sunny scenes... including a familiar 70s occurrence

Recently I've been looking through the 'Centro Storico Fiat' channel on youtube...this is bizarre and I don't really know what it's about, my pidgin Italian isn't really up to it...A film about the Fiat 127 involving Scotland's greatest* band - 'Middle of the Road'...Go figure...

Seems to have an explanation halfway down this page.  http://www.middleoftheroad-popgroup.com/history_part2.html

 

"Chirpy" was a runaway success but for the follow up single, "Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum" needed some innovative promotion. What better than to put a new car on the road with "Middle of the Road". As it happens, Fiat were launching their mini hatchback, the Fiat 127, and they were producing a short film for release in cinemas all over Europe. RCA struck a deal with them to feature "Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum" and the band in the film. The foursome, who were still living in Rome, had the dubious pleasure of seeing themselves on the big screen, quite by accident, when they visited their local cinema one evening to see "Love Story".

They have never been able to work out what "Tweedle Dee" had to do with a car but in spite of this both car and song were highly successful."

Here are a a couple more from 'Fiat Centro Storico'...

 

A film about Fiat trucks and buses in Africa. This one is in English too. Says 1973, but it is probably earlier...

 

 

And this one is all about the establishment of the Lada factory in Togliatti in the late sixties. In Italian though but still great...

Here's another one in English. A 1976 film about Fiat worldwide operations complete with groovy tunes...
