Story of the exhibit
The truck belonged to the association «Kohtla-Järve Autoveod» and is, as far as is known, the only one to survive the so-called "great cutting up" when the company went bankrupt. Its former driver bought the vehicle from the motor depot. It was last in active use in August 2000.
