We set off to introduce the Great American Classic and Muscle Cars Culture to all the Russian speaking population of the world accounting over 280 million people.
Our project in the media
This culture is a genuine legacy of the United States. It is being carefully preserved and treasured all over the world.
But there still are places that are barely acquainted with this subject for objective reasons.
The Soviet Union was a very interesting experiment in the world’s history. One of the basics of communism was the belief that best stuff is being developed in the USSR and there is no other product or service that could be better anywhere else in the world. People believed so because of the closed borders. And for some things this was the case, but for others…
Check out the 50 years of evolution:
These are all different models too...
Don't get me wrong, I'm a patriot for my country, but that doesn't mean that we have to live behind the iron curtain.
This was one of the reasons of a great cultural shock
when in 1959, Richard Nixon, VP back
then, brought the best pieces of the North American automotive
culture to the USSR - National American Exhibition for display
through the cultural exchange program between the two countries.
People could not believe this was possible. Everyone was astonished by the great design, engineering and technical perfection of these automobiles which were unlike anything else we were used to.
As the time passed, our society shifted into the global market and our leaders have opened the borders for the world 25 years ago. Many things have changed, but the culture of great American automobiles, a thing of its own in the US, UK and Europe, still has not reached our country.
What we want to do
Cultural exchange between the United States and Russia has always been limited by verbosity from the authorities followed by silence. In fact, the recent successful event was long-ago back in the good old 1959. Let's break this wall together.
What we have
There is much more to this. Basically, we are the first ones on the go to adopt a whole new Culture to the general population of our country. And we're very excited about it.
What we need
With this in hand, we will carry out great Classic & Muscle car reviews, perform test-drives, organize shows, investigate history notes and bring local & international news to the Russian audience through a media outlet on the web that will rapidly become popular.
What exactly
the money will be used for
We have estimated a budget of $75K to get this project up and running. This is the minimum amount to finance the project initiation and further 6 months of active work creating American Classic & Muscle car-related events and stunning content and bring it to the attention of the maximum number of Russian citizens and people in CIS countries.
Detailed Expenses Breakdown
We believe that introduction of American Classic car traditions to our society will win lots of public support and help American Muscle occupy a significant amount of the local media space.
Our budget is based on cost-effectiveness in order to achieve more with less. The more support we'll get, the faster we'll foster this culture throughout our huge country. We will make every dollar work for this honorable and exciting project.
A few words from our friends
One might ask: Why should they succeed?
It is simple:
-
Our approach and all the effort we are bringing to this project with your kind support is massive and widescale. People for whom all of this is being done will not have a single chance to resist. We are working on the first impression that will convince them to follow along desiring for more.
-
There is nothing in Russia like what we are creating. Such information has never been available in this country.
-
American Classic & Muscle cars are very popular everywhere else in the world, so why should Russia be any different?!
-
Our study shows a vast interest in this subject in Russia and CIS countries. There is a great demand for such project to evolve.
- Very important one: all of us here are making our dream come true, and that means endless enthusiasm! Our goal is not just to perform on the project, but to make this star shine! People won't get round such things.
What difference will it make?
In addition to all said above, we believe that it is important to point out plain statements of the impact we will achieve. With much said, all of this comes down to 4 simple things:
1. Spread the American culture further across the world;
2. Bring the societies of the two great countries closer together;
3. Give all the Russian and CIS countries citizens a chance to enjoy the beauty of the great American classic automotive culture;
4. Create a new and exciting trend in the Russian-speaking world.
5. And finally Bring American Muscle to Russia!
What are the risks?
According to our survey and evidence all over the world, the Culture of American Classic & Muscle cars is very popular in every region where it is present. In order for our project to succeed, it is important to create a high-quality content and bring it to the attention of the masses. And that can only be done with devotion and necessary finance.
So proper financing is actually the key to success. No third party interference or acts of God can prevent this project from developing once it is financed and started.
Perks!
We have prepared great rewards to show our gratitude to everyone that wish to help us. Nevertheless, any suggestions from you about other possible perks we could offer are welcome.
Who we are
We are a group of enthusiasts and American classics lovers. Our team includes automotive journalists, professional editors, photo and video operators, IT/copywrite/promotion/proofread/build/SEO support and a leader to bring us all together.
We've been working on this idea for the past two years. Our initial plan was to create an American Muscle print magazine, but our research has brought us to the idea that we have to go digital in order to reach more people and provide them with a wide-ranging rich media. Nowadays a print magazine is great for a few minutes in the restroom...
We decided to give the people a chance to enjoy great photo and video content about American Classic & Muscle cars, to interact with each other and share the information, receive daily updates and great new stories, articles, test-drives and reviews. At the end of the day, we all use the internet to satisfy our demand for information.
