👑 From 1965 to 1989, the red flag parades of August 23rd took place all over the country to praise the so-called Communist Paradise and the supreme leader Nicolae Ceaușescu—who, ironically, had no role in the original event!

✔️ On the historic day of August 23, 1944, a 23-year-old king, by his own decision, ended World War II one year earlier.

Because we believe that the celebration of August 23rd was a massive distortion of historical facts, we will not share any propaganda images of Ceaușescu today.

🚗🚙🚘 Instead, here is a photo from the 1968 parade featuring a colorful fleet of 1100 Dacias, freshly produced at the Pitești factory—the real stars of the 1968 and 1969 National Day parades.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and happy August 23rd!

Launched in 1969 on the licensed Renault 12 platform, Dacia evolved over 35 years with mostly design tweaks rather than technical upgrades—largely due to Nicolae Ceaușescu’s insistence on avoiding Renault license fees.

🎁☭ As a clear symbol to celebrate Romania’s National Day on August 23, 1988, the Dacia 1320 was unveiled, having a great slogan- The Lights of August!

🆕 This unique model introduced a hatchback body style—a first for the brand—along with a fully redesigned interior and exterior. At the time, specialized magazines touted the Dacia 1320 as a competitor to Eastern European and Western models like the Lada Samara, Škoda Favorit, Zastava Florida, Fiat Tipo, and Peugeot 405.

💎 Produced in limited numbers—just 2,500 units between 1988 and 1991—and primarily allocated to the state-run taxi fleet rather than public sale, the Dacia 1320 has become one of the rarest and most prized models among collectors today.

🚗🚗🚗 If you want to experience classic Dacia 1300 or 1310 models from that era, join the RedPatrol stars on the RedPatrol Tour and hear firsthand stories of Romanians behind the wheel of these iconic cars!

During communist times, the regime pushed hard to convince Romanians to enjoy their holidays at home—because traveling abroad was strictly forbidden. One of their bold attempts? The creation of camper trailers in the 1970s, designed to give people a taste of freedom on wheels.
🚐 Enter the “Litoral” camper trailer — a true “house on wheels” meant to revolutionize how Romanians spent their vacations and encourage them to explore the stunning landscapes of their own country.
💸 But here’s the catch: the price for this so-called freedom was a staggering 29,000 lei—almost half of the cost of a whole car! Not exactly affordable for the average worker.
⛽ And the timing couldn’t have been worse. Just as the sales of the Litoral camper trailer began, gasoline was rationed, making long road trips nearly impossible. A classic communist misstep!
❓ How many “Litoral” trailers were actually made or still exist today? The truth is, very few. But their story remains a fascinating glimpse into the contradictions of the era.

While most Romanians baked under the harsh sun, Nicolae Ceaușescu was living it up in his private Black Sea paradise —Neptun! An immense palace fit for a king, with 40 marble rooms, amazing fountains, and a private beach. And get this: 100 people served him daily, catering to his every whim! 🏖️👑
𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫: 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝!
This wasn’t just a holiday home—it was a fortress. Around 500 officers kept the entire area under tight security, making sure no unwanted eyes got close to the dictator’s secret playground. Talk about VIP protection! 🚨🛡️

No ordinary tourist could get near this fortress of excess. Only the crème de la crème—high-ranking officials and foreign VIPs—were allowed inside. The rest of the country? Left dreaming of the sun they couldn’t touch. 🌲🚫

💎An expression of Romanian modernization from the 70s, the Dacia 1300 car was a real status symbol for any family.
💰The perspective of the communist leaders was different - seen as a source of currency, the produced automobiles was massively exported and the cars sold on the domestic market were few. As a normal Romanian, you deposit the money at the CEC Bank and wait 3-5 years.
☎️The day you get the call that you can come and pick up you new Dacia 1300 car, you didn't really wonder what color it was, you just loved it because it was your car! You called all your friends and the family car arrival party lasted until the next day.
🎟️Now you can book a Dacia driving tour in just a few seconds, and you can choose the color. Are you still undecided?

🏦 Was a Bank Robbery Possible in Communist Romania?
You bet it was! The freshly installed communist regime was basking in propaganda glory, but behind the scenes, an audacious crime shocked the nation.
💰 The Red Patrol Tour Reveals the Bloody Streets of Bucharest
Follow the trail of fearsome murders, heists, and terror stories that shaped Romanian history. Among them, the most surprising bank robbery of 1959 stands out: six masked gang members robbed an armored car of the National Bank of Romania, making off with over 1.6 million lei—that’s 2,000 monthly wages at the time!
☭ A Heist Amid Communist Propaganda
This robbery happened just as the regime was pushing hard to convince Romanians that all capitalist “bad habits” had vanished under the working-class-led Socialist state. The irony? The gang members were prominent pre-war Romanian Communist Party activists who had fought for legalizing communism in the 1930s monarchy!
💥 Justice Was Swift and Harsh
Five men were sentenced to death and executed immediately, while the lone woman in the gang received forced labor for life due to pregnancy.

The legendary Dacia wasn’t just any car—it was a communist propaganda icon, proudly dubbed “the car for the Nation” by Nicolae Ceaușescu himself. Launched as his personal project back in 1966, Dacia symbolized Romania’s industrial progress and socialist pride. 🚗🇷🇴
Every August, the regime celebrated big production milestones and new model launches with great fanfare. Why August? Because it marked the National Day of Liberation from the Monarchy and the Anti-Fascist Resurrection—a perfect backdrop to showcase the nation’s achievements! 🎉🧮
One of the most iconic moments came in 1985, when the 1,000,000th Dacia rolled off the line—a Dacia 1310 from the first generation, the twin sister of our very own ivory 1984 Dacia 1310 Malvina! ✨
🚗🚗🚗 Curious what it feels like to drive the Dacia 1,000,000?
🌟 Our Malvina is ready to take you on a nostalgic ride through history!
Hop in and experience the legend yourself!
