This is the cover for Gulag Orkestar, by Beirut, and I've always wondered what the car is. It looks quite Soviet......supposedly, it's the album cover because one of the band members took out a library book that had that photo stuck in the pages, no idea if that's true, but I like the story. It contributes to the atmosphere that the photo creates.

Some musical context for those who don't know Beirut/Zach Condon

Lada I presume. What ever Lada was based of the Fiat 124. Can't remember what it was called.

Ah, I forgot about non-2107 Ladas....and the mesh over the headlights threw me off. Thanks!

2103 had an all chrome grille and different bumper guards. This is a 2106.

Looks like a Lada 2106, a later version of the 2103., hence the plastic headlight housings.
