[Cz-L] Motor cars in Czernowitz

http://pics.livejournal.com/edward_tur/pic/002xeqed

  Who said there were no cars in old Czernowitz ?
   Here is to prove the contrary.
   There were cars on the streets of Czernowitz !
    Not on all streets at the same time ,that is.
    Petrol stations I dont recall but you could buy gas in cans at
    some downtown shops. There were some Osin hand pumps later .
    Water for the radiator and air for the tires were free !
    ( Even in the Ceaucescu Rumania of 1980 Bucharest, the capital had
   only 4 fuel stations with the newly invented air compressors .)
     There were no paved roads in the countryside anyway.
     In the late 30-ties there were regular bus lines to provicial towns.
      The Opel Blitz line with its terminal at the beginning of
Russischegasse,
    off the Ringplatz.
