Yesss. Good transfer. Maybe a original 35mm film.

When Moskvitch launched the new 408 in 1964, called "Elite" in Finland, they donated a black car (not a standard color, as far as I know) to Kekkonens wife, Sylvi. I don't think there is any record that she actually used it, as she already had a Morris Mini, which she drove regularly (and hit a tram with it, unfortunately...). Fun fact: president Kekkonen himself never had a driver's license for a car, but hade driven motorcycles when he was younger.

Да, было! Но всё в наших руках!

Quite a few Russian cars, for you to look at! I don't speak Russian, but it was interesting to see cars that were available in Helsinki - probably because it is closer to Russia than Great Britain.

Ditto.

lots of Russian and Eastern European models, British and American.

"Tall" mon père aussi !

I checked the film's data, it is actually as late as summer 1960. But as far as I know they started the actual production of the new Taunus (P3) as late as in September 1960, which would explain the old model at the exhibition.

@@asdfghjkl48929 Thank you very much. My mum had a Taunus 17m 1960, with fifties shape Ford cars, it is rocket tail, similar maybe to a 1957 Chevrolet Bell Air, wide chrome grill, rounded headlights, etcetera. Now I understand why this footage shows those models, cause it is previous to the restyling made, the all new Ford Taunus was shorter, oval headlights, no rocket wings, it looks very 60s era, perhups it marked rhe road for the new shape for future lines of the all new1962 American Ford Thunderbird, back side now more austero. 🇨🇱🏁🇩🇪

@@crist67mustang The new "bath tub" Taunus was indeed a big leap from the design with fins. It's funny how the big American companies sometimes seemed to first test new ideas in Europe and then launch something similar in USA. Mostly of course European cars carried on with design that already was outdated on the other side of the Atlantic.

Plus an Austin Healey Sprite with a red 3000 behind that.

Why would they be clones.

It's the aspect ratio I'm assuming - this was probably shot and shown in 16mm film, which has a ratio of 1.37:1. However this copy of the video is in narrower 4:3 (same as a vhs tape/ old tv) which means the sides of the frame have been cut off.

@@adelaidejones2346 You might be right, but 4/3 is ~1.33, so there isn't that much difference. And often the top and bottom seems to be cut off as well, so I do believe they liked to get too close :)

It's only DS (Id)19. All the best!

plus a two-door convertible and the Chapron and President models.

Not so strange. USSR was just a stone's throw away, and Finnish government bought MiG 21 fighter planes too.

Finland was not very prosperous then and they were cheap.

I lived in Helsinki between 1967 and 1971. Though I was a little boy then, I can assure you: Finland WAS prosperous, and I cannot remember having seen russian, or other eastblock cars on the streets there. Anyway, that was around 8 years later, so things might have changed dramatically in the meantime.. My parents had a Ford Taunus 17M, neighbours had a VW beetle, a Datsun Cherry, a Mercedes, and the car in our neighbourhood, I remember best, was a georgeous Ford Mustang Hardtop with beautiful rear lights and a phantastic C pillar.. Actually, I remember that my family even has visited this motor show in Helsinki, where I got lost in the crowd temporarily..

This is an absolute *wrong* impression! Please consider, that Finland was neutral then. They lost a 1/3 of their country to the USSR, and they feared the Russians more than anything else! (Until today, they do, btw.) This television show was done by the state-driven TV stations, and they had to be diplomatic to the Russians right in front of their gates: They needed to calm them down all the time. So, I guarantee you, they showed explicitly russian cars on Helsinki roads on TV to calm the russian bear. I lived there for 4 years, and I don´t remember any russian car there! (Though, propably, there were very, very few of them, possibly..) I can´t even remember to have seen any eastern european car as they were considered as useless by everybody.

But then it wouldn't be in Finnish...

I agree....

Go watch some American car shows then if you want to see them speak english

Obey your government and do as you are told! After all be thankful you live in a democracy.

it's happening all over Europe regardless of political party. UK Conservative Party (and non-EU) are also banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. Some car companies have already announced they will go all-EV after 2025.

Jourwalis - It was a flat six.

Don't believe that idiot Ralph Nader.

As long as the tires were properly inflated, they were no worse than any other rear engined car of that era.

Checrolet Corvair was designed in US based on European sport cars, rear engine, but 6 cylinders very American on it. I think it is uggly design, used in Japanese Ultraman TV series. Hahaha. In fact, I thought it was a Japanese car. A big mistake for Chevrolet, bad sales, it had serious problems after all.

Lots of german cars (Borgward, Lloyd, Goliath, NSU Prinz & Spider, Ford Taunus) 👍

Some people just don't have taste for cars I guess... including you. But for real, everyone has an opinion. I still respect your very unpopular opinion though.
