The Soviet Van That Moscow Rejected - It Was Supposed to Last Forever

In the 1960s, a small team in Severodonetsk built one of the most unusual vehicles in Soviet history - the Start, a fiberglass minibus. Unlike most Soviet cars made of steel, this experimental van was lightweight, innovative, and designed for small-scale production. It almost went into mass production - but instead remained a forgotten prototype. In this video, we explore the story of the Start: why it was created, how it was built from fiberglass, and why it never made it to the assembly line. 🎥 Like what I do and want to support the channel?
