Well, okay, it's contemporary with the Landie 107, but this thing is trying much more aggressively to be a carwagon, and is a *unibody* 4wd wagon. I'd say Moskvich 411 takes the 4wd wagon archetype award.

BOF, and still very truckish, though you're right that it was very much in the wagon segment. In that vein, though, the war-time and immediately pre-war GAZ-61 is older still. I was looking for a breakover from proto-SUV to proto-AWD wagon, and BOF/unibody + modern divergence between truck and car body styles seemed like as good a metric as any.
I admit that trying to gauge Russkie vehicles on the basis of modernity in any way is the province of madmen, but on the unibody+looks like a car + 4wd metric I did so anyway. It's just so far ahead of the Subaru and AMC offerings that it's impressive.
