Photo of the Italian Communist Party Sputnik-car for propaganda during Italian general election, 1958

The Italian Communists made an amazing campaign vehicle during the 1958 General Election —A model of the Soviet satellite Sputnik was put atop a car and with speaker concealed inside the satellite. The loudspeaker would blurt out the election messages & slogans of the Italian Communist Party (PCI). The car had also a sign painted on it saying ’Vote Communist’
