"Antilopa-GNU": was Adam Kozlevich? That the most "Lauren Dietrich" which brand was the famous car antelope GNU

"The breed of the car was unknown, but Adam Kazimirovich argued that it was" Lauren Dietrich. " In the form of proof, he pinned a copper plaque with the Lorentrikhovsky factory brand to the car radiator.

I. Ilf and E. Petrov, "Golden Calf"

So, was Kozlevich? Let's try to figure out ...

In essence, the copper plaque, and also his own nailed, it can not serve as a weighty argument. Moreover, it is rather an indirect evidence that the "antilope" is not "Lauren Dietrich", but this is also not a fact. Fortunately, Ilf and Petrov in their immortal work pays a description of the machine quite a lot of attention, so that we can completely carry out a small semi-detective investigation, based exclusively on quotes from the "Golden Calf". By the way, similar attention to small details It clearly indicates that the authors refer to some kind of specific car - perhaps he belonged to someone from them or their acquaintances.

When creating a feature film "Golden calf" (where Sergey Jurassic and Zinovy \u200b\u200bGerdt were filmed), the creative group even conducted an investigation on the topic, what is this car. In the film, they were removed simply a similar car output of the beginning of the century (according to the experts, Roussely Balt C24 / 30, which was produced since 1909), since the recreation of real "antelope" turned out to be a difficult and expensive
What was this famous car? In the television series, they decided not to bother with the search for a prototype and somehow try to recreate an "antelope", referring to the fact that even the authors themselves could not argue than this national Salonian team was. After all, as you know, the car Adam Kozlevich was just an app to the palm in the green tub, and his appearance on the market "could be explained only by the elimination of the automotive museum." What really was the device for 190 rubles, it would never be possible to find out. The driver himself preferred to make it "Loren-Dietrich", attaching this emblem on the radiator ..

So, Adam Kozlevich "... I bought on the occasion of such old carthat his emergence on the market could be explained only by the liquidation of the automotive museum. " Another confirmation of more than a solid age of the car also serves as the next quote: "- the original design, - finally said one of them, - dawn motorism." How old is Antelope? The action of the "Golden Calf" takes place in about 1930-31; So the car, who already then looked like a "dinosaur", should be released at the very beginning of the twentieth century. Given not very fast at the time the pace of automotive development, we define the year of the production of "Antelope-GNU" somewhere between 1898 and 1908. By the way, this in itself excludes the option with Lauren Dietrich, since the release of cars under such a brand began only in 1909, and at the beginning of the 30s they could hardly be considered museum exhibits. Of course, Lauren Dietrich looked at the street just as the "twenty-first" Volga or Victory looks like now, but he was still too early in the museum.

But back to the book. Here are some more "testimony" (allocated by me - V.N.): "He jumped out of the car and promptly started a hard-caught motor." "Balaganov left the pear, and old-fashioned, funny, sudden sounds of sounds were escaped from the copper horn ...". "He disliked the copper parts with a cloth ...". "Antilopa-GNU" rolled down, ... breaking like a funeral chariot. " "Panicovsky leaned back on the car wheel." "Kozlevich revealed the muffler, and the car released a cable of blue smoke ...". "Thirty kilometers" Antelope "ran in an hour and a half." "Adam ... changed the chambers and protectors on all four wheels ...". "... from the gate of the inn, pale shining headlights, left the" antilop ". And last: "Antelope" was not. A non-shaped pile of fragments were lying on the road: pistons, pillows, springs ... The chain slipped into a rut as Vijuk. "

What kind of useful information Can I get a quote from this key? So, the motor is starting with a launcher - it means that there is no starter. A beep with a pear, performing an old-fashioned dance (an ancient car, ancient!). Copper body fittings. The similarity with the funeral chariot probably gave a high awning dialing. Wheels are large, once you can rely on them, however pneumatic tires. Pale headlights are probably acetylene, not electrical. Drive chains. Speed \u200b\u200b- twenty kilometers per hour, and for not the worst road.

What is surprising. Remember, Kozlevich dreamed of oil pipeline? It means that he had a four-cylinder engine, on which the idea of \u200b\u200bsupplying oil under pressure was only implemented. And this design also appeared after 1904.

Finally, the muffler. As you know, it slows down the exit to the atmosphere of exhaust gases, thereby reducing the noise of the exhaust. Naturally, part of the engine power is spent on the resistance, which gases the silencer. For the current cars, this consumption does not have almost no meaning, but the start of the century engines were already weak. For rapid acceleration that requires high power, the driver opened the silencer valve, and the gases are freely, and the roar went into the atmosphere.

In short, doubt that the "Antelope" is a release car approximately 1901-1905, practically no. But the following quotes are applied to the "Lorentitrich" version (allocated by me - V.N.): "Panikovsky, going through the legs, grabbed the body, then the abdomen was on board, turned into a car, like bathing in a boat, and, stued cuffs , fell on the floor". "The distraught Kozlevich reroxed the third speed, the car rushed and fell on the opened door." That is, the Panikovsky, caught up with the "Antelope" with Gusem under his arm, was forced to turn over the board, which indicates the absence of side doors. Then where did the Balagans fall? Even if we assume that the lateral door was still and, moreover, it was discovered against the movement (and otherwise how would it opened from the jerk?), It still remains unclear how the Shura managed to fall into it. At first glance, - a blatant contradiction, but there is still a logical explanation for him.

Balagans fell across the door located in the rear wall of the body. Such bodies were called "tonny" (translated from the French "barrel"), and were quite common on the vehicles of the beginning of the century. Rear seats They were above the axis, they were attached to the floor on special hinges and, turning, served as if door sash. Moreover, in some structures, there was even a seat, next to the driver's seat, this is the question that Balagans could sit in front, near Kozlevich. Indeed, it was worth it to closely close these "doors", and the passenger, along with the seat, traveled out of the body and, it happened, without keeping, fell on the road.

Why did I call this fact "strike on Lauren Ditrich? Yes, because this company is just a car with the body "tone" and did not release; Moreover, when it started production, such bodies have almost come out of fashion and produced by firms. That is, options no longer remains: Adam Casimirovich Godlessly lied - probably wanting to donate the age of his car, in order to raise his prestige in the eyes of others, and maybe, and simply by ignorance, assigning the "beautiful" name "Antelope GNU" .

But if the "antilope" was not "Lauren-Dietrich," what was she then? It is much more difficult to answer this question - after all, the authors do not give the slightest instructions to the true brand of the car, nor at least a country that has given it. After a careful study of the models there are a lot of options - from more or less well-known firms to tiny small-sector firms such as those whose models are presented in the photo. These cars almost fully comply with the description given by Ilf and Petrov, except for one small detail - there is no notorious awning-canopa, who has relaxed to "antelope" with a funeral chariot. However, with the exception of this insignificant difference, everything else is a beep, big wheels, the front of the engine, finally (the most important thing!) The body type is fully satisfied with the requirements that we have.

And these are possible options for Dietrich, judging by the book

Something about "Lauren-Dietrich"

The history of this brand itself is not interesting. Her roots go to one of the oldest French engineering companies "de Dietrich", founded at the XVII century (!) In the Netherbron, near Strasbourg. All the second half of the 19th century, this company was engaged in the release of railway cars, axes, wheels and rails, and since 1897, following fashion, moved to the manufacture of the first cars. By this time, the company had already two offices - in Niederbronne and Lüngneville.

Interesting such a fact: from about 1902 to 1905, in the Netherbronnian department he worked as a designer of some ... Ettore Bugatti, subsequently created one of the prestigious car Marks World. But it's not about him.

In 1905, two branches of the firm decided to divide, as a result of which two stamps were formed: "Loren" (Lorraine) and "De Dietrich". They quite successfully existed independently of each other, but after a few years they decided to unite. This was how the brand "Lauren-Dietrich" arose, whose emblem was buried on the "Antilopa-GNU" radiator. Mark existed with varying success until 1935, when due to the fall in demand for its products, the release of cars was stopped. However, Lauren-Dietrich engines used a certain reputation - they were established even on some airplane models.

If the body can still indicate that Kozlevich had a very ancient "Lauren Dietrich", the engine raises questions. But where is the answer to them? In the world, not a single machine of this brand of release until 1907 is preserved. The only copy of this company, released later, was presented in the German town of Saarlois last year on the international classical car rally

Well, a little historical facts

Lauren Dietrich (FR. Lorraine-Dietrich) is a French company specializing in the release of cars and aircraft engines from 1896 to 1935. Was created on the basis of the company for the production of railway locomotives Société Lorraine des Anciens etablissements de dietrich and cie, better known as "Dietrich and Co." Fr. DEETRICH ET CIE, founded in 1884 by Jean de Dietrich, recharged for more profitable car production.

History
In 1896, the director of the plant in Luneville, Baron Adrien Ferdinand de Turckheim, bought the rights to produce Amédée Bollée. The model had a horizontal dual engine with sliding (slide) transmissions and belt drive, folding top, three acetylene headlights and windshield for protection against wind, which was very unusual for that time. For a while, the company used engines from Bolée, but the manufacture of the entire car de Dietrich was independently.
In 1898, De Dietrich debuted at the International Competition Paris - Amsterdam with Torpilleur Car (Torpedo), had a four-cylinder engine and an independent front suspension. The car was damaged on the way, but still took the third place. The prize was not small, more than one million golden francs. In 1899 Torpilleur was less successful, despite the suspended chassis and four-cylinder monoblock with a dual carburetor, poor preparation did not leave chances to finish the Race of the Tour de France.
Bolée's development was ousted similar from the Belgian company Voiturette Vivinus from Niederbronn-les-Bains (FR. Niederbronn-Les-Bains) and Marseille company Turcat-Méry from Luneville (Lunéville), helped in 1901 to get out of a serious financial situation.
In 1902, De Dietrich hired a 21-year-old Ettore of Bugatti, developed cars, which occupied prizes in 1899 and 1901, and a four-cylinder engine with the upper position of the valves for 24 hp. (18 kW) and a four-step transmission that came to change Vivinus. He also created 30/35 in 1903, before moving toward Mathis in 1904.
In the same year, the leadership in the Netherbronni refused to produce cars, as a result of which it completely moved to Lunevil, however, Turcat-Méry was sold with the Alsace market, the products of which came out under the "Dietrich" brand. In order to avoid the release of products with the same logo, the leadership of Lunevil added to the grille of the Radiator Cross Lorraine. However, besides this sign, cars did not differ much until 1911. Nevertheless, Lorraine-Dietrich was a prestigious brand, along with Crossley and Italy, the leadership even tried to take a position in the class "Super-Lux", releaseing small-sector six-wheeled limousines in 1905 and 1908 (Limousines de Voyage) worth ₤ 4000 ( 20,000 US dollars).
Just like Napiers and Mercedes, the reputation of Lorraine-Dietrich was built on race participation, primarily the pilot of Charles Jarrott, who took third place in 1903 to Rally Paris - Madrid and 1-2-3 places in 1906 on Rally Circuit Des Ardennes, led by Arthur Dure.
In 1907, De Dietrich bought ISOTTA-Fraschini, manufactured OHC (overhead cam) engines of their own design, including engine at 10 hp (7.5 kW), which, as affirmed, was developed by Bugatti. In the same year, Lorraine-Dietrich absorbs Ariel Mors Limited in Birmingham, with the only British model of the engine, with a capacity of 20 hp. (15 kW) exhibited on Olympia Motor Show in 1908, proposed for the Open chassis of Salmson and Mulliner convertible chassis. (The British branch was not successful, existed for about a year).
For 1908, De Dietrich presents a line of classing class with a chain drive on four-cylinder 18/28 hp, 28/38 hp, 40/45 hp, and 60/80 hp, by Price from ₤ 550 to ₤ 960 and six Cylindrian 70/80 hp By ₤ 1040. The British version differed in the presence cardanian Vala. In the same year, the name of automotive and aircraft engines was changed to Lorraine-Dietrich.
By 1914, all de dietrich were already driven from the cardan shaft, from the models 12/16, 18/20, 20/30 of the Touring class and to the sports four-cylinder 40/75 (in the image of Mercer or Stutz), all were collected in Argenteui (Argenteuil), Sena-I-UAZ (Seine-Et-Oise) (who has become the headquarters of the company in the post-war period).

After World War II
After the First World War, with the restoration of Lauren in France, the company resumed the production of cars and aircraft engines. Their 12-cylinder aircraft engines were used including Louis Brege, Iar and Aero.
In 1919, the new technical director of Marius Barbarou (Delon-Belleville successor) presented new model With two versions of the wheelbase (short and elongated), A1-6 and B2-6, to which B3-6 joined three years later. The same 15 cV (11 kW) 3445 cm³ with six cylinders and the upper position of the valves, the hemispherical head of the cylinder block, aluminum pistons, and four crankshaft bearings were used.
Focus on "show best result"He led to the creation of 15 sports in 1924, with two screening systems, increased valves, and Dewandre-Reprusseau brake system on all four wheels (this is at a time when the brakes of any design for all four wheels were rare), which was comparable to the 3-liter Bentley, and 15 Sport went around him in 1925, winning the Le Mans, and in 1926 fleas and Andre Rossignol won by showing middle speed 106 km / h (66 mph). Lorraine-Dietrich, thus, became the first brand, winning Le Mans twice, and the first who won for two years in a row.
This contributed to the popularity of the station wagon 15S.
To 15 CVs, 2297 cm ³ 12 cV (10 kW) of four- (up to 1929) and 6107 cm³ 30 CV (20 kW) six-cylinder (up to 1927) were added (up to 1927), while 15 CV was preserved until 1932; 15 CV Syrtoped Championship in 1930 and held his last race in 1931 by Monte Carlo Rally, when Donald Healey at Invicta went around the nose in the nose of Jean-Pierre Wimille for one tenth of a second.

Change name
The De Dietrich family in 1928 sold its stake in the company, which became simply Lorraine after that.
End of car production
15 CV came to shift 4086 cm³ 20 CV (15 kW), which was released in the amount of only a few hundred. The production of cars has become unprofitable, and after the failure of the model 20 CV, the concern stopped the production of cars in 1935.
In 1930, De Dietrich was absorbed by the Aviation Societe Generale, and the plant in Argenteuil was transformed into the creation of aircraft engines and six-cycle trucks under Tatra license. By 1935, Lorraine-Dietrich left the automotive industry. During World War II, Lorraine focused on the production of military vehicle, such as armored transportersLorraine 37L.
The Lunéville plant returned to the production of railway locomotives. As of 2007, it still works under the brand De Dietrich Ferroviaire.
Victory Lorraine-Dietrich in Competitions
Adrien De Turckheim held prizes between 1896 and 1905 on many races in Europe. For example, his victory in 1900 in Strasbourg.
Les "Lorraine" ONT Été Engagées Dans Plusieurs Courses Automobiles, Et ONT Gagné Plusieurs Trophées, Parmi Lesquels:

Bolée development was ousted in Niederbronn-les-ben (Fr.) similar to the Belgian company Vivinus (FR.) (Voiturette models, Fr.), and in Luneville - from the Marseille company Turcat-Méry, which helped in 1901 to get out of heavy financial situation.

Write a review about the article "Lorraine-Dietrich"

An excerpt characterizing Lorraine-Dietrich

- When did you get? From Olmyz? - Repeats the prince of Vasily, who seem to know this to solve the dispute.
"Is it possible to talk and think about such trifles?" Thinks Pierre.
- Yes, from Olmyz, he answers with a sigh.
From dinner Pierre led his lady behind others in the living room. Guests began to drive around and some left, without giving up with Helen. As if not wanting to tear it from her serious classes, some approached a minute and rather left, forbating her to accomplish himself. The diplomat was silent sad, leaving the living room. He was presented to all the vanity of his diplomatic career in comparison with the happiness of Piera. The old general angrily grumbled on his wife when she asked him about the state of his legs. "Eka, the old fool, he thought. "Here Elena Vasilyevna so and in 50 years old beautiful will be."
"It seems that I can congratulate you," Anna Pavlovna whispered by Princess and kissed her firmly. - If not a migraine, I would remain.
Princess did not answer anything; She was tormented by envy of happiness to her daughter.
Pierre during wires guests remained alone with Helen in a small living room, where they sat down. He often before, in the last year and a half, remained alone with Helen, but never told her about love. Now he felt that it was necessary, but he could not decide on this last step. He was ashamed; It seemed to him that here, helen, he occupies someone else's place. Not for you, this is happiness, - he told him some kind of inner voice. - It's happiness for those who have no what you have. But it was necessary to say something, and he spoke. He asked her, was she satisfied with this evening? She, as always, answered his simplicity that the current name was one of the most pleasant.
Some of the nearest relatives still remained. They sat in a large living room. Prince Vasily lazy steps approached Pierre. Pierre got up and said that it was too late. Prince Vasily strictly looked at him strictly, as if what he said was as strange that it was impossible to hear. But after the expression of rigor changed, and Prince Vasily pulled Pierre down his hand, planted him and gently smiled.
- Well, what, Lelia? He immediately turned to his daughter with the negligent tone of the usual tenderness, which hesitated by his parents, with childhood caressing his children, but who was only the prince of Vasilya, only hesitated through the imitation of other parents.
And he appealed to Pierre again.
"Sergey Kuzmich, from all sides," he said, unbuttoning the upper buttice of the vest.
Pierre smiled, but by his smile it was seen that he understood that not a joke Sergei Kuzmich was interested at this time of Prince Vasily; And Prince Vasily realized that Pierre understood it. Prince Vasily suddenly breathed something and came out. Pierre seemed that even Prince Vasily was confused. The kind of embarrassment of this old secular man toned Pierre; He looked around at Helen - and she seemed to be confused and the look said: "Well, you yourself are to blame."
"We must inevitably step over, but I can not, I can't", Pierre thought, and spoke again about the outsiders, about Sergey Kuzmich, asking what this joke was consistent, because he did not hear him. Helen with a smile answered that she also did not know.
When Prince Vasily entered the living room, the princess quietly spoke with an elderly lady about Pierre.
- Of course, C "EST UN PARTI TRES BRILLANT, MAIS LE BONHEUR, MA CERE ... - Les Marieiages Se Font Dans Les Cieux, [of course, this is a very brilliant party, but happiness, my sweetheart ... - Marriages are performed in heaven,] - answered Elderly lady.
Prince Vasily, no matter how listening to the ladies, went to the distant corner and sat down on the sofa. He closed his eyes and as if he was dreamed. He fell his head, and he woke up.
"Aline," he said to his wife, - Allez Voir CE QU "Ils font. [Alina, see what they do.]
The princess approached the door, walked past her with a significant, indifferent look and looked into the living room. Pierre and Helen also sat and talked.
"All the same," she answered her husband.
Prince Vasily frowned, wrinkled his mouth to the side, his cheeks jumped with his characteristic unpleasant, gross expression; He, shake, got up, threw back his head and decisive steps, past the ladies, passed into a small living room. He's speedy steps, happily approached Pierre. The prince's face was so unusually solemnly that Pierre got frightened, seeing him.
- Thank God! - he said. - My wife said everything! - He hugged the pen of Pierre, the other - daughter. - My friend's friend! I am very, very happy. - his voice trembled. - I loved your father ... And she will be your good wife ... God will bless you! ...
He hugged her daughter, then again Pierre and kissed him badly by the smelly mouth. Tears, really, worried his cheeks.
"Princess, go here," he shouted.
The princess came out and cried too. The elderly lady also saved his handkerchief. Pierre kissed, and he kissed his hand of beautiful helen several times. A few times, they were left again alone.
"All this should have been and could not be otherwise," thought Pierre, "so there is nothing to ask, is it good or bad?" Well, because definitely, there is no former painful doubt. " Pierre silently kept his bride's hand and looked at her rising and squeezing beautiful chest.
- Helen! He said out loud and stopped.
"Something particularly spoken in these cases," he thought, but could not remember what exactly they say in these cases. He looked at her face. She moved towards him closer. Her face shook her.
- Oh, remove these ... like these ... - She pointed to glasses.
Pierre removed glasses, and his eyes over the overall strangeness of the eyes of people who shot glasses, his eyes looked frightened questioningly. He wanted to bend over her hand and kiss her; But she had a quick and coarse movement of the heads of his lips and brought them with their own. Her face struck Pierre his changed, unpleasantly confused expression.
"Now it's too late, everything is over; Yes, and I love her, "Pierre thought.
- Je Vous Aime! [I love you!] - he said, remembering what it was necessary to speak in these cases; But these words sounded so poorly that he was ashamed for himself.
After a month and a half he was an obvente and settled, as they said, the happy owner of the beautiful wife and millions, in the Bolshoi St. Petersburg re-trimmed house of the counts of the Berthi.

The old prince Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky in December 1805 received a letter from Prince Vasily, who informed him about his arrival along with his son. ("I'm going to revision, and, of course, I'm 100 miles not a hook to visit you, a diverse benefactor," he wrote, - and my anatole defeats me and goes to the army; and I hope that you will allow him to personally to express to you That deep respect, which he, imitating father, nourishes to you. ")
"Here is Marie and you don't need to export: the grooms themselves go to us," the little princess did carelessly, hearing about it.
Prince Nikolai Andreich frowned and said nothing.
Two weeks after receiving the letter, in the evening, the people of Prince Vasilla arrived ahead, and he himself came with his son as another day.
Old Man Blocks has always been a low opinion on the character of Prince Vasilla, and even more recently, when Prince Vasily in new reigns in Pavel and Alexander went far in ranks and honors. Now, according to the hints of letters and the little princess, he understood what was the matter, and the low opinion about Prince Vasille passed in the soul of Prince Nikolai Andreic to the sense of unfair contempt. He constantly snorted, speaking about him. On that day, how to come by prince Vasillus, Prince Nikolai Andreich was particularly dissatisfied and not in the spirit. Was he not in the Spirit that Prince Vasily came, or because he was particularly dissatisfied with the arrival of Prince Vasilla, which was not in the spirit; But he was not in the spirit, and Tikhon was still in the morning, he honed the architect to enter the princess.
"Hear how she walks," said Tikhon, drawing the attention of the architect on the sounds of the prince's steps. - on the whole heel steps - we know ...
However, as usual, in the 9th hour, the prince went out to walk in his velvet coat with a sable collar and the same hat. The day before the snow fell. The track, which is guarded by Prince Nikolai Andreich to the greenhouse, was cleared, traces of the broom were visible on the snow stated, and the shovel was stuck in the loose mound of snow, walking on both sides of the track. The prince passed on the greenhouses, on the palace and buildings, frowning and silent.
- Can you drive to the sleigh? He asked him who defeated him to the house of the honorable, like a face and manner on the owner manager.
- Deep snow, your shiny. I already walked along the punchpiece.
The prince tilted his head and went to the porch. "Glory to you, Lord, I thought the manager," the cloud swept! "
- It was difficult to drive, your clay, - added the manager. - How was heard, your fortification, that the minister will complain to your sinya?
The prince turned to the manager and frowned eyes stared at him.

To the question about the remains of Bender

Car, comrades, not luxury, but a means of movement!

(from the movie "Golden Calf")

Honestly, I first thought that in the film "Golden Calf" 1968, an original historical car of the beginning of the twentieth century was used. It is clear that there is noLorraine - Dietrich. (As Kozlevich claimed), but maybe "Roussely Balt" 1909. However, at the closest, by a framework consideration, I quickly realized that I unfortunately did not "Roussely Balt". Rather Rousseau, but not a balt. The cinema "Antilope GNU" turned out to be an ordinary Novodel, more precisely by the replica-Sankan car of the late 1900s-early 10th. Soon, after careful searches on the network, it turned out that this repar was made by a talented designer Lvi-Shugurov (1934 - 2009) specifically for the film "Golden Calf". Well, I will give a tribute to the designer: he built it, of course not a book "Antelope GNU" (the car of the combinator had a chain drive to the rear wheels and a completely different body type), but still it turned out a good copy of the beginning of the twentieth century.

Now, a few words about the series "Golden Calf" 2006. Here also used replicas for the start of the last century. For example, the American car (in the second series) turned out to be a group of cars 1915-1925: It was built by Alexander Lomakov (1928 - 2005) in 1989 for the film "American Grandfather". However, about the creators of the "Antelope GNU", which was ruled by Nazarov, I did not find anything, but the fact that this car is a replica is also visible to the naked eye.

But what really was the book car "Antilope GNU", we probably probably never know. We can only guess. According to Ilf and Petrov, Kozlevich car in 1925-1930 was already considered an antiques and had a body tone (Tonneau. - "Barrel") with the door in the center of the rear (which is evident from the episode with the felling Balagan) and an awning or a canopy (otherwise it would not be similar to the "funeral chariot"). This kind of cars were very popular in 1901-1907 - they were made by many cars at that time. And although Kozlevich himself called his aggregate "Lauren-Dietrich" (more correctly - Laurent Dietris), this did not mean that the car was exactly this brand. For example, known autoistoric. Dolmatovsky and did not believed that "Antilope GNU" is "Fiat. "1901-08 Personally, I am less categorical: in my humble opinion, it is impossible to bind the "Antelope GNU" today to some specific automakers and models are generally impossible. Automobile in the body with a tonny-removal canopy-kenopa was usually common for the first half of the 1900s. And the only one in what can be worn on one hundred percent, so this is that "antelope ..." not "Lauren Dietrich." That brandLorraine - Dietrich. finally made it only in 1906-1908, i.e. Already in the period when the fashion for the body has taken a decline tone. Among other things, in 1906-1908Lorraine - Dietrich. Did not produce a tone with the rear door and a removable canopy. During this period, their tonns are already in the bodies with the side door with folding tents. And here are the predecessors of "Lauren Dietrikov" -tonnoDe Dietrich. With the rear door are quite often often. Thus, the Kozlevich car could well be "de Dietrich", no longer "Lauren Dietrich".

- Adam! - he shouted, covering the engagement of the motor. -
What is your trolley?
"Lauren Dietrich," answered Kozlevich.
- Well, what is it for the name? Machine like military
Ship must have his own name. Your
"Lauren Dietrich" is distinguished by a wonderful speed
and noble beauty lines. Therefore, I propose
assign the name - an antilope. Antilopa-GNU.
Who is against? Unanimously.

But "Lauren-Dietrich" existed in fact, like a none uncle "studebacker".

Soon after the publication of the famous now, Roman Ilfu and Petrov flew great from the authorities for the consonance of the brands of the self-graded crew of cruises with Leninsky Rolls-Royce and the same middle of their chasofers - Pana Kozlevich was called Adam Kazimirovich, Leninist Shoför was, as famous, Stepan Czimirovich Gil. By violence brothers-writers justified. But Lauren-Dietrikha in pre-revolutionary Russia, and not only, they were valued at least the legendary wipes ...

Mark Lauren Dietrich (in the original is written Lorraine-Dietrich. ) In 1905, it was assigned to cars produced at a new factory belonging to the Baron Eugean de Ditrich. The old company was located in the Germans belonging to the Germans, in the city of Nidenbronn. It was engaged in the release of railway equipment, and then cars under the brand De Dietrich. . The new plant was opened 15 kilometers from the border, in Luneuille. The cars produced on it were so different from the early structures that the plant's owners decided to emphasize this change of stamps by adding the name of the new companion to it and part-time chief engineer.

Kozlevich, undoubtedly, wanted to attract the clients to "rejuvenate" his motorized carriage, and therefore decorated his radiator emblem of newer and prestigious Lauren Dietrikov, on which the Larring Cross, storks and airplanes were blocked.

Lauren Dietrichs soon forced to talk about themselves, obsessing victories in races both on the ring highway and for the long-marathon distances. The car of this brand won the Moscow-Saint Petersburg race in 1913 and immediately after the finish took part in the automotive exhibition.

But early De Dietrich. We used a solid reputation - after all, participation in their development accepted Ettore Bugatti. Subsequently, he became a global celebrity, and then he was only 20 years old and he had only a little experience in a small supply experience. Prinetti & Stucchi. in native breaks. However, the talent itself decides when it manifests itself. First De Dietrich. They had a coil radiator in the form of a copper corrugated tube, which was starting to shine, the chain drive of leading wheels.

A short base provided torticham manevrost, it is no means for a racing track, but the road verants were slightly improved racing options with all the resulting consequences. In particular, it was possible to install only one type of body - removable, such as "tone". Passengers got into it through the doors who served at the same time the backs of the seats.

"Tonny" had another feature - it was extremely difficult for him to install a folding cloth or leather top for protection against rain, so the canopy was done on the racks. This canopy was often decorated with fringe.

Here she was, "Antilopa-GNU" is high, clumsy, pompous, like an old carriage, with large rear wheels, huge claxson and acetylene lanterns. But there were people who appreciated these ancient self-propelled crews. Even before the revolution, they were recognized by museum values. And when museum funds hit the market, different people acquired them - for example, the Zoskchenkov character who got the royal boots. Not exception was Kozlevich, who bought rarity to engage in it by private worker.

Famous illustrations and replicas "Antelope", for example, a car that stood in the foyer of the Golden Ostap restaurant is based rather on the descriptions of the late Lauren Dietrikov. By the way, the company safely survived the first world and in 1923 he developed a high-speed sports model 15CV. . This car was designed for victories in racing, primarily a 24-hour marathon on the track Le Mana. She won him twice - in 1925 and 1926, becoming the first car that won the famous race twice, and the first who won two times in a row.

Remember the famous dialogue that turned the name of the car into the winged and legendary. Some are already confused, what was the brand of the car Real: "Lauren-Dietrich" or still "Antilope GNU" ...

- Adam! - shouted to leave, covering the engine grinding. - What is your trolley?

"Lauren Dietrich," answered Kozlevich.

- Well, what is it for the name? The car, like a warship, should have its own name. Your "Lauren Dietrich" is distinguished by a wonderful speed and noble beauty of lines. Therefore, I propose to assign the name - an antilope to the car. Antilopa-GNU. Who is against? Unanimously. The green antilope, creaking with all its parts, rushed on the external passage of the boulevard of young tanks and flew to the market square. I. Ilf, E. Petrov, "Golden Challenge"

And here, the inhabitants of Luchansk first understood the advantage of mechanical transport in front of the Huzhev. The car took over with his own parts and quickly carried out, leaving the fair punishment of four offenders. I. Ilf, E. Petrov, "Golden Challenge"

But early de Dietrich enjoyed a solid reputation - after all, participation in their development accepted Ettore Bugatti. Subsequently, he became a global celebrity, and then he was only 20 years old and he had only a little experience of working on a small project of Prinetti & Stucchi in his native Brescia. However, the talent itself decides when it manifests itself. The first de dietrich had a coil radiator in the form of a copper corrugated tube, which was starting to shine, the chain drive of leading wheels.

"Antelope" was not. The debris was lying on the road: pistons, pillows, springs. Copper guts were glittered under the moon. The broken body came to the ditch and lay next to the woven Balaganov. The chain slipped into a rut as Vijuk. I. Ilf, e . Petrov, "Golden Trank"

The distraught Kozlevich reroxed the third speed, the car rushed, and Balagans fell into the opened door. I. Ilf, E. Petrov, "Golden Challenge"

"Antilopa-GNU" accepted the prisoner of Grubian and rolled further, breaking like a funeral chariot.
