What are we? - a Classic's Stop

What are the hen hunter, the sock, the shell, the princess, the granny, the sock, the roaming pipe, the galloping old mare, the roadside queen, the dymisnierusos? These are all names given to the syrena, the most beloved car in the early era of the People's Republic of Poland, much as that love was unrequited.

The Museum of Technology and Transport in Szczecin is full of vehicles that Poles used to be so much in love with.

The WFM motorcycle was called "uncle's Frank motorbike", the Fiat 126p was called either "the Fatal Imitation of an Automobile for Tourists, a 1-passenger 2-door 6-time overpaid car", or "the coughy". Its older brother, the Fiat 125p, was known as "the dresser" or "the clumsy one". The Jelcz bus was called "the cucumber", and the GT6 tram - "the fritz".

Vehicles that earned themselves a nickname can now be found only in our museum. Nobody gives names to cars designed by a computer. Come pay us a visit - your first wheels are waiting.
