Moskvitch 401. A copy of the German Opel-Kadett

Moskvitch 401. After the Second World War, many captured German cars remained on the territory of the USSR. Moskvich 401 became a copy of the German Opel-Kadett, which allowed to provide citizens of the USSR not only with a cheap car, but also use spare parts from captured vehicles. For the production of the model, German trophy equipment was also used.
