Scale mockup in AMC Gremlin style

One of the early scale models of the Moskvich‑2141, version 3‑5‑7, was a variation on the AMC Gremlin theme – a three‑door coupé‑hatchback. For the USSR such a body style was more than avant‑garde, but on the other hand, three years later VAZ began developing the 2108, a model conceptually somewhat similar.
