When Vasily Lazarenko began tinkering, he had a vision: build a wooden car. And apparently, it was a case of double vision. The resident of Chernovtsy, Ukraine, fashioned half of the body with a retro look and the other half with more modern styling. (Or at least, "modern" as it seems to be understood in the aftermath of the notoriously unstylish Soviet empire.)
Here's the more contemporary profile of the car. Under the hood, many of the components are straight out of the late Brezhnev era: Lazarenko (that's him in the driver's seat) refashioned the chassis and engine from a 1981 Opel with a 100-horsepower engine.
