The 1960 Helsinki Auto Show
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Автомобильная выставка 1960 года в Хельсинки. На выставке были представлены автомобили производства крупнейших автомобилестроительных компаний того времени, в том числе Plymouth Valiant, Renault Floride, Renault Dauphine, Skoda, Tatra T603, Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Simca. Особого внимания заслуживает ряд советских автомобилей Горьковского автомобильного завода и Московского завода малолитражных автомобилей.
Die Autos waren früher viel schöner als heute. Die Designer hatten noch ihre Phantasie ausleben können, doch heute bestimmt das Diktat des Windkanals Form und Schnitt. Der CW-Wert ist die Autoreligion der Neuzeit.
That blue dash look fancy🦕
I saw one of my favourite sportscars of all time, the Renault Floride, with its removable hardtop! Wow!
Brigitte Bardot has a Renault Floride 👌
Fantastic footage indeed! Lots of Russian cars (Volga, Moskvitch, Chaika, ZIL, etc) and Czech ones (Skoda, Tatra).....Amazing "time machine"...
sure miss those cars!!!!!
Thank you for posting this I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Those Borgward Isabellas are something to die for.
Wartburg 313 convertible are even more beautifull and more expensive
I understood not one word and thoroughly enjoyed this video!
(Pun) I don't know who painted those cars but they all had a nice "finish". Seriously there were a lot of great looking cars.
As an American, watching all these (to me) sleek, small European cars go by, and then seeing a regular Corvair in the middle of it all, was jarring!
this is AWESOME !!!!
В конце фильма можно убедиться, что на улицах Хельсинки действительно часто встречались советские автомобили: "Победы", "Волги", "Москвичи" и даже грузовики ГАЗ-51. Так что, не зря президент Финляндии Урхо Калеви Кекконен так внимательно осматривал автомобили на стенде СССР.
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.
As the song says "it is a long way to Tipperary" but in Clonmel in 1961 as I six year old i remember a gentleman farmer - Aber Barnes_ - owning a mid grey coloured Borgward Isabella which he drove with style- after 60 years brings back many memories.
Nice technic colour. Perfect picture.
Yesss. Good transfer. Maybe a original 35mm film.
Suurin osa oli nätimpiä ku nykyautot.
Советские автомобили во всей своей красе🤩
Finland 🇫🇮 beautiful country...perhaps in my next life..I born there.
Beautiful and noble.
Вот смотришь такие фильмы - и слезы наворачиваются на глаза! Был у нашей страны престиж! Большое спасибо за видео!
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.
Nice informative video !
Lovly cars especially tht station wagon has enough space for lugages
What a time...
Mein Vater leistete sich Anfang der 60er Jahre einen Borgward Isabella. Er war stolzer als ein Spanier.
"Tall" mon père aussi !
6:21 cars: all small
Tatra: big one with V8
(with Corvair)
I loved the "FORD PREFECT"!
2:20 Москвич-423Н неимоверно красивый) Ему очень такое сочетание белого с синим идёт - что на кузове, что в салоне. Да и в целом - даже несколько непривычно видеть его таким чистым и сверкающим)
what an interesting video. I have no idea what 1/3 of those cars were.
Ditto.
lots of Russian and Eastern European models, British and American.
3:26 Hansa Lloyd, in early 60s as young Boys we shout " Wer den Tod nicht scheut der fährt Lloyd, kaum ist der Fahrer eingestiegen sieht man schon die Knochen fliegen"
"wer steht am Berg und heult?...der Lloyd"
Preciosos autos saludos desde mexico
I love the "don't sue us salsa" genre
*I can see a Taunus 17m sedan and station wagon, (minute **8:00**) design correspondes between 1957 to 1959. In 1960 is replaced for another design completely diferent. So, I think this footage maybe ending 50s.*
Greetings from *Santiago Chile* , SouthAmerica.
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.

С сегодняшней точки зрения, это давно утерянные, но привлекательные и очаровательные воспоминания о хороших временах. со многими автомобилями, которые еще имели характер.
Avant le break Citroën ID19 je crois on peut voir un petit coupé allemand "Isabella " de BORGWARD marque disparue mais qui survivait par le biais des taxis dans certains pays
Voi miten kaipaan tuota aikaa ja tunnelmaa. (Olin silloin 10v.) Autotkin olivat hienoja.
I'd love a Borgward but I want a Skoda . May God help me. I'd even like a Volga or a Chakia .
Спомних си годините когато бях
ученик.Няма как да се върне времето за съжаление.
Chevrolet Corvair remindes me Ultraman Japanese TV serie. 😘
Сколько Москвичей на дорогах!
A Skoda then to a Skoda now I'd rather have a Skoda now than then.
@ 9:00 mark there's a 1957 Desoto
I even say a convertible Renault Caravelle!
Jag vill tipsa dig att jag hade en sådan bil en moskvitch 1964 när jag var 20 år
It's strange how the camera is always too close to the subject, with parts of the car or person cut off. Nowadays that would just be considered bad framing, back then it may have been the standard, or maybe they hadn't learnt to do it properly yet. But I find it a bit uncomfortable to watch - I want to see the whole damn thing! :)
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 :)
I never knew that DS21 came as a station wagon too.
It's only DS (Id)19. All the best!
plus a two-door convertible and the Chapron and President models.
Onko täällä ketään Suomalaista?
Интересный фургон на 5:00 🤔

Interesting to see in the street view that the Fins actually bought Moskviches and Wolgas.
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.

@2'55" In the foreground London Black Cab and Austin A40 - or clones, perhaps...?
Plus an Austin Healey Sprite with a red 3000 behind that.
Why would they be clones.
If only it were in English.....
👍🙂
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
Ei näy montakaan nykyään harrastajien ihannoimaa "jenkkiautoa" videolla, muutama Ford ja pari GM:n automallia
The black Russian car that you see first is actually a 1956 Packard( USA) When Packard was discontinued they sold all the dies to Russia and it continued to be built there for many years.
как много разных автомобилей. Все отличаются. А сейчас....одни копии с небольшими изменениями.
"Оптимизация". Точнее, МОНОПОЛИЗАЦИЯ автопромышленности.
2:20 Moskvitsh 423 station wagon (farmari mosse)
8:27 Polska Nysa
Αχ φτώχεια...1960...
It was cool seeing the Lloyd Alexander at 3:21 I've got a few of those great little cars. Then there was that Russian blatant copy of a Packard, haha.
Volvo and Saab???
Vintage from Bob's burgers
Bug-eyed headlights seemed pretty "popular."
Belle e meno belle ma ognuna aveva una propria spiccata personalità, niente a che vedere con lo "stile" odierno fatto da insignificanti scopiazzature delle une con le altre!
5:55 what manafactuer?
Goliath Express manufactured by Goliath-Werke Borgward (Germany)
Почему то американские машины не показали!!!
Потому, что у скорпионов (особенно, у черных) зрение плохое...
Sadly the green peoples party of Germany and the EU environment chamber have banned all combustion cars after 2030, from 2025 on there will be only very limited fuel supply, only one gas station per city in the EU. In Scandinavia all combustion cars are banned from 2025 on too. At the moment they even discuss to forbid trade with used combustion cars including classics!
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.
@@dcanmore EVs harm the environment too
Turn off Muzak and name the cars
F 's
All these dangerous rear-engined cars! And the worst of them all, the pernicious Chevrolet Corvair with a big V6 engine at the rear! Lethal!
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) 👍
That's about the most ugliest group of cars I've ever seen.
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.
