Cars of this brand were widely used during the years of the first Soviet five-year plans, the Second World War, during the post-war reconstruction of the destroyed national economy. Since 1965, the veteran of war and labor A. Artemenko worked as a driver on this car. In 1985, the car was restored. In 1986, it was installed on a pedestal made of concrete blocks and rubble stone near the district agricultural machinery. In 2003, the car was reconstructed for the second time, and moved to the territory of the educational institution of the Higher Vocational School of Forestry.
