  1. Fuel got siphoned on every stage - from refineries, from storage, on their way to gas stations, from gas stations themselves and then by drivers of state owned companies - shortage of supply spawned a large black market. Besides, why pay, if you can just steal?

  2. Huh, "Ford" cars very similar to this one were also assembled in Riga, Latvia between 1937 to 1940, branded as "Ford-Vairogs", as it was "Vairogs" factory/ Wonder if the particular car was then nicked, as Soviets occupied Baltic states or maybe it's just a "Ford" from the same era.
