[wzslider autoplay=”true”]If you would ask someone which car comes to his mind as a unique symbol of the former Yugoslavia, they would probably say “Jugo 45”. But that is not the only car that older generation remember when the legendary vehicles that were popular in the former Yugoslavia are mentioned.
“Trabant”, “Wartburg”, “Zastava 750”, “Zastava 101”, are some of the cars that could be seen on the streets every day back then. The fact that some bands dedicated songs to them, speaks enough about their popularity.
These are some of the most popular cars that were “rushing” through former Yugoslavia.
