by A bread wagon in 1:43 scale was sold at auction for almost 1000 dollars. For this amount, you could buy a real car in Ukraine, although it might not be in the best condition and not ‘brand new’. As for the model, it dates back to the 1970s.
According to the Violity website, this is a fairly rare toy model, made on the basis of the ZIS-150. It is also noted that the mass production of miniature car copies began in the mid-1970s.
They were based on the products of the Soviet automotive industry — VAZ, GAZ, Moskvich, and others. Initially, scale models of passenger cars were created, and later — trucks, minibuses, and agricultural machinery. Scale models of trucks and passenger cars, manufactured in Soviet times, are popular among collectors today.
