Story of the exhibit
A luxury car in its day. In its last "stage of life" it was given to rescue school cadets for training exercises – rescuing a casualty from a burning or trapped car. It has since been rebuilt into a monster truck using the chassis of a GAZ-66 truck (exhibit no. 092) and a Belarus tractor engine.
