Farewell to the Yugo automobile

The last Yugo, once the pride of communist Yugoslavia's automobile industry, will roll off its Serbian production line Thursday in the central town of Kragujevac.

In the US, Yugo has made several joke appearances in Hollywood blockbusters such as Die Hard 3.

Artists in America also found inspiration in the flimsy tin-can structure, turning it into something more useful — like a queen size bed or a kitchen stove.

A favorite Yugo joke is:

Why does a Yugo have a defroster on the rear window?

To keep your hands warm while you push it.

Incredibly, over 100,000 Yugo’s were sold in the U.S. before Yugo America, the company that imported it, went bankrupt.
