Medvedev's personal car, the Pobeda (Victory)

Medvedev is one of my favorite world leaders.  His bold-colored fat-knotted ties.  His Putin-like gait.  And now, his cool 1948 Pobeda.  This classic was the first Soviet vehicle to come with turn signals, TWO electric wipers, and a radio.

    complete with incongruous modern wheels. Russia's got style.

    @Alan: Yeah. I'm no Pobeda expert but those wheels do not look stock.
