Abstract:

A weekly ‘Motor’, appearing from 1952 with a circulation of over 100 thousand copies was the most important magazine devoted to the subject of motorisation in Poland. Initially, it was published under the subtitle of ‘Weekly of the Road Transportation Workers’, and from 1953 on: ‘Illustrated Weekly’. The first issues were full of typical articles on drivers’ competitions, development of the industry and road transportation, and Cold War propaganda. In practice, individual motorisation was non-existent. A change was brought about by the turn of 1955 and 1956. The announcement of the mass production of totally Polish “Syrena” led to gradual evolution of the weekly’s character. It made its pages available to a larger number of the two and four wheels individual owners. Thus, an analysis included the issues for the period between 1955 and 1966. Those twelve years show the changes in individual motorisation in post-war Poland – from the announcement about the production of “Syrena” to the information about the contract with the Italian Motorisation Giant FIAT. The ‘Motor’ pages became the forum to discuss the latest car and motorcycle makes and models, shortages in the infrastructure and insufficient equipment, to exchange information about car repairing and servicing. There were also other issues brought up, such as the problem of car rationing, both of Polish and foreign makes, or an increased number of traffic accidents. All these elements show the problems that the vehicles owners in Poland of 1955–1966 had to face.
