From 15 to 18 September in Moscow exhibition center "Crocus Expo" was the 18th Oldtimer-Gallery Ilya Sorokin, the main event which was the exposure homemade hire USSR
This time, the exhibition hit all the records for the number of exhibits. But not only the number of the current gallery was different from the previous one. One of the main topics was improvised explosive devices, which were merged into an exposition called "They built a car". Since the middle of the twentieth century, the Soviet Union has had what now could be called an alternative vehicle, the movement of creators of homemade cars. In addition to the cars that have survived until today, you can see photos from the beams, magazine articles, prizes and cups, drawings and diagrams, as well as a motion picture film. Another main event was the 125th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz and the 115th anniversary of the first Russian car. Both memorable dates marked the demonstration of the culprits: the three-wheeled Benz Patent-Mrwagen 1886 and Yakovlev's 1896 car. Both the exhibits are replicas. The original of Carl Bentz is now in dozens of copies and the original is stored at the Munich Technical Museum. The first Russian car was not preserved at all, so it had to be recreative. For the first time, the exhibition has provided a huge area for car clubs. The atmosphere of the atmosphere was the most unborn. And, of course, the most important thing at the exhibition is the unique cars. Many of them showed up for the first time, something was shown earlier in the process. These are the most interesting of them. Mercedes-Benz Benz Patent-Morwagen celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, linking the anniversary date with the invention of the car itself. It is worth to say that under "car" means a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine-steam and so popular electric vehicles have been patented much earlier. And in 1886, Carl Benz patented the machine with the DMF. The power unit of this "motor" (0.954 liter) has developed 2/3 horsepower and drove it up to 16 km/h. Benz did not design the steering control for the two front wheels, limiting itself to one which was turned by a lever with the teeth and the gear shaft from the gears. The springs were only on the back wheels, and the front wheels were treated with a normal bicycle fork. Benz has built his first car for the sole purpose of proving the health of the invention. The first was followed by two more "motorvogen", then a small batch of two dozen cars, and in 1893, Benz patented the steering wheel for two wheels and began the serial production of the Velo and Victoria models. Mercedes-Benz W114 The 1970 version for the American market with matching light technology and speedometers arrived in Russia from California. The dry climate was affected by the safety of the body and the paint coatings that remained. For Moscow it is known only two running copies of W114. This is one of the last models of Mercedes-Benz, which was put together by French designer Paul Braque-you can see the characteristic decisions like vertical headlights, a large area of glazing and the absence of a central body frame. Ford Timken in 1920s became the popular concept of three-cornered off-road vehicles with wheel formula 6x4. The Soviet Union purchased such vehicles abroad. In the United States, a shipment of three-cornered Ford Timken (two tons) was purchased based on standard Ford-AA. In 1931, they were built at the Hodok of October Nizhny Novgorod plant. Two years later, Timken went to Moscow-Karakum-Moscow. Where bios were shot, the three-axle vehicles moved forward: six wheels significantly reduced unit pressure on the ground. The exhibition was presented at the exhibition under No. 12. "Pangoolina" and "Satan" These machines have not gone long since "Model Designer" and "Youth Technology" magazines. The founders were proud, admirers of readers, many wanted to do something like this. Pangolina appeared in the city of Ukhta in 1983 and became one of the brightest, original and famous homemade cars of those years. The project of almost European level: for access to the salon, the integral part of the body, which included wind and side glass, the roof and sidewalls sector, was served by an electric drive, and the headlighting system consisted of three units of sliding headlamps. The wheels are on the disks! And all this on "Zhiguigi" units! "Satan" was created on the GAZ-24 units and dispersed to unheard for those flying speeds of 200 kph, which no Soviet serial car could develop! Steyr 1500A and Horch 901 The collector and restorer Vyacheslav Len showcase "novelties" at each exhibition. This time it was the German army vehicles Steyr 1500A and Horch 901. The first one was developed by Ferdinand Porsche, who used V8 with air cooling. The production was launched at the Steyr plants in 1941, and a couple of years later the company Auto Union joined the production. The copy of the exhibition, which was shown in 1944, was a late version with the simplified body. The Horch 901 is not the first such instance that has been restored by the company "Collectors" V. Lena. Yakovlev-Frese First Russian car did not survive until our time, by the 100th anniversary of its appearance the restoration of the museum of the newspaper "Avto-Revye" made the closest possible copy. The work was not from the lungs-the drawings of the car did not survive, they were recreated in one photo taken in the summer of 1896 at the All-Russian industrial and art exhibition in Nizhniy Novgorod. In general, the car was adopted to be called the names of the creators: the carriage maker Piotr Alexandrovich Facet and the owner of the St. Petersburg factory of gas and kerosene engines, Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Yakovlev. They chose Benz-Velo and Victoria's prototypes, but the Yakovlev and Frese cars were the original steering control, which turned the wheels together with the springs. "Work" In this car, a homemade almost all-three-cylinder engine with two candlesticks on the cylinder, loose independent pendants, steered from the steel sheets of the body ... Particular attention was paid to the thoroughness and elaboration of the details in the finishing and interior-even the doorknobs were made by author designs. As a result of this approach, a completely original car, which reached us in the original form, became available. And the debut "Labor" was shown in 1966 at the very first "Automobile Festival" in Moscow. CD The country's first homemade vehicle, built by a series of approximately six cars. The 2 + 2 coupe, performed on the design of Eduard Mol Chanov's design, was made of glass-soaked resin impregnated with polyester resin and mounted on a metal frame. Plus, it also contained a tubular spatial framework. ZAZ-965A. The air is at 30 l.s. allowed the compartment to get up to 120 mph. The exhibition was attended by three copies of the series, which appeared in 1969. Beside them was the matrix-the body of the body, which was used to plunder all the riyals.
