Dear all,

I just received this. Alas, I am completely ignorant
of this area. Can any car buff on the list help?

(Perhaps contact him directly, or share with the List
according to taste - and the moderators' discretion.)

Happy motoring!

Ddear Mr. AIDAN FOSTER-CARTER,


We are compiling a book about the automobile industry of North Korea (cars,
buses, trucks, trolleybuses). During our research, we frequently find your
name as an authority on North Korea.
As far as today, we compiled information, including pictures of these
automobiles:

1958: Sungri 58 truck  (based on GAZ 51)
1970s: Sungri 58 KA truck  (GAZ 51 with new cab)

1960: Sungri 1010 truck  (based on Russian or East European truck ?)
1964: Sungri 64 truck, later Jaju 64 truck (KRAZ 256)
1970s: Jaju 82   (KRAZ 256 with new cab)
1968: Kaengsaeng 69  (GAZ 69)
1970s: Kaengsaeng 69 NA (GAZ 69 cargo)

1970s: Tabaeksan truck

1970: Chollima 70 trolleybus
1972: Chollima 72 trolleybus
1974: Chollima 74 trolleybus

2004: Peokkugi 3, ckd Shuguan pickup
2005: Peokkugi 4, ckd Shuguan SUV 4x4

We hope you can help us to complete the information, we have a lot of holes,
like: which car was from which factory. Also, we have no photo of the
Pyongyang 410 and the photo of the Paekdusan is very bad. Some of the items
are very poor. Is there any publication inclusive pictures on this subject?
Maybe in a magazine?

Any piece or bit is a step forward.

Many greetings!
