The KIM-10 is a 2-door sedan (car) / sedan / 2-door Phaeton body / phaeton / 4-door sedan (car) / sedan from Moskvitch, built from 1940 to 1941, in a decade split by war, when civilian production stopped and restarted. Under the bonnet: 4-cyl., 4-stroke, 1170 cc, 30 hp.

The engineering

Power comes from 4-cyl., 4-stroke, 1170 cc, 30 hp. It weighs 840 kg. It shifts through a 3-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2386 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the NAMI-1 / Ford Model A; its successor was the Moskvitch 400. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Lincoln Continental, the Volkswagen Beetle, the Buick Estate — show what else the money bought that year. Its Moskvitch stablemates include the AZLK-2139 and the AZLK-2144.

What it costs now

There is no federal ownership record for the KIM-10 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
