Soviet Cars From Behind the Iron Curtain

Most automotive museums focus on a particular manufacturer, or have a collection of historically important, otherwise interesting cars. The Riga Museum in Riga, Latvia, however, houses a large collection of automobiles from the former USSR. Some highlights include Stalin's ZIS-155 armored car, a massive GAZ-13 "Chaika" sedan, a one-of-two ZIL-112 Sports, a SMZ S3A M microcar built for the disabled, and—of course—a Trabant P50.

So, do you think Soviet cars could become high-price collectables someday?

Tatras seem to be doing well value-wise. Whether or not they're lumped in with others from Soviet times is of course another story.
