I like that. ,
All old cars have charm.. even an amc gremlin or a yugo...
It would be nice to see people restore more avg cars too.
Yugo was like the 3rd best Yugoslav car and Yugoslav cars weren't actually preferred by Yugoslavs, VW was a hit and whoever could get it got it. All of Yugoslav cars were mass produced to be affordable domestically, with some more limoish models to be bought by businesses and state institutions. Yugoslav VW in Bosnia rolled out north of half a million cars between 1977 and 1992, Golfs 1/2, Caddys and Jettas.
Pity for Yugo tho, the last o.g. socialist version was Florida which looked like a decent car, Fiat Tipo-ish.
The best thing about that car tho, doesn't have anything to do with cars. Croatian ports could actually ship out big amounts of cargo to USA on regular basis. When someone does an article on this, shipbuilding and logistics of Croatia in 2nd part of 20th century, this picture is usually attached :
