Moskvitch does not build many cars like the Moskvitch 400-420: a 4-door sedan / convertible / station wagon with 1.1 L MZMA-400 I4, built from 1947 to 1956 in a decade split by war, when civilian production stopped and restarted.
The hardware
Under the skin sits 1.1 L MZMA-400 I4. The gearbox is 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. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Where it sits in Moskvitch's history is not in doubt: the Moskvitch 400-420 came before it; the Moskvitch 402 followed it; it was built at Moscow. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Citroën 2CV, the Porsche 356, the Chevrolet Bel Air. Its Moskvitch stablemates include the AZLK-2139 and the AZLK-2144.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Moskvitch 400-420 — 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.
