The first “Vagonfest” in Russia took place in Moscow. It turned out that no such event had ever been held in our country before. According to the organizers, there have never been such large-scale “vagonfests” in the world. Participants came to the capital from different cities in cars of different makes and models, so you could see some very rare examples here. We have collected the most striking station wagons in our photo gallery.
