What Cars of the Revolution Is About

In 1961 President Cemal Gursel calls for a domestically built car and the job goes to the engineers at the state railway works. They have no ready parts and no experience, only the hundred and thirty days until the republic day celebrations. The team gets two cars finished and sends them to Ankara. What followed is one of the most retold stories in Turkey: the car stopped during the ceremony because its tank had been drained for transport and not enough fuel was put back. The papers wrote about the car that went a hundred metres.
