BMW 503s and 507s were considered major flops. Now, they’re among the most sought after Bavarians. Plus, that V8!

And there's the 159 diesel wagon in brown.

Throughout Yugoslavia, there's a saying that every Golf is a GTi, every Mercedes-Benz an AMG, every Ford a Cossie and every BMW an M. Hell, we've even seen some Mercedes-Benz Ms!

Pozdrav! Spremamo se za englesku verziju, a do tada smo na domaćim jezicima na www.autoslavia.com :D

There's also something like this, as documented by our friends at www.bud3.net (Google translate would be needed, though)

MG Maestro Turbo.

Kusturica is an absolute genius, no offence taken!

Yeah, there is a legend circling around the Internet, and there aren't many, if any, ways to confirm it. However, it's so bad-ass that one just wants to believe it!

What a nice shout out to Alfa Romeo Club of Serbia, one of the greatest and best organized clubs in ex-Yugoslavia!

Yes, it's such a lovely looking car!

As for some other Beetle-looking vehicles, there is also a Hanomag 1.3l Autobahn, which looks quite like a Split Oval Beetle. Here is one pictured on the streets of Belgrade under Nazi occupation, most probably in 1941.

And for a more positive outlook on Belgrade's (and Serbia's) transportation culture, you can check this out: www.autoslavia.com, or see one of two articles published on our Kinja.

It should feature a crank starter, just to match the chin.

Also known as Rover 75 V8.

Oh yes! Well played, sir!

Well, more or less the same thing happened with 1967 BMC-1800 Berlina Aerodinamica by Pininfarina. Too strange for BMC, but Hell no for Citroën!

Poor poor Datsun :(

One day, my friend! Actually, our mission is to do it, by interlocking society of the time with the car culture of ex-Yugoslavia.

Wow, this is incredibly disgusting.

Actually it wasn't. Yugoslavia was never a part of Eastern Bloc countries. It was a country that was non-dependent of Soviet Union since 1948. when Tito almost literally told Stalin to fuck off. And after that, Yugoslavia was a melting pot of communist cult of personality and capitalist almost everything else.
