Waitin' On Parts...
Dropped in at a friend's house this evening to help post a couple of things on eBay.
Upon leaving and heading for my car, I happen to glance over and see a somewhat familiar silhouette!

Knowing that this part of Philadelphia has a very large Russian-speaking community, I figured that this example was not a FIAT 124 but more likely the Lada version. The trunklid had a script emblem on it that I could not fully read, but after doing a bit of Googling, I assume it said "Shiguli."
Here's an interesting article that compares the FIAT 124 to it's Russian cousin the Shiguli.
