The book "Cars of the PRL" is not only an overview of vehicles, but also a story about the people who created and used them. The author takes us behind the scenes of factories, presents the production process and shares interesting facts from those years. You will learn what challenges Polish engineers and constructors faced, and what innovations they introduced to meet the standards of that time.

The publication also presents prototypes of cars that, unfortunately, did not go into production, but often, both in style and technical parameters, did not differ from the world standards of that time. This is a fascinating insight into the potential of Polish technical thought and proof that Polish engineers had a lot to offer.

Thanks to cooperation with factories producing cars in the times of the People's Republic of Poland and their contemporary successors, the book was enriched with hundreds of interesting photos. These are unique photos from factory archives and private collections that allow you to see the cars of the PRL in all their glory. The book has 120 pages and dimensions of 22x32 cm. It was published in 2017 in hardcover by Księży Młyn Dom Wydawniczy.

It is the perfect read for motoring enthusiasts, history buffs and anyone who wants to return to the times of the PRL and see what Polish motoring looked like in that era. Feel the nostalgia and discover fascinating stories related to iconic Polish vehicles!
