0 Moskvitch-2140
Starting 1982, the 2138 were discontinued and 40 became only Moskvitch on all of markets. It was face-lifted the same year: the shield logo was changed to feature "АЗЛК" written in metallic outline, the grille coating switched from metal to plastic, and both side mirrors were slightly redesigned to be less heavy. The station wagon variant 2137 was the last of Soviet cars to still feature taillight fins to accommodate gate opening, until the model was discontinued in 1985.
Although originally designed and often referenced as "fourth generation", the series were in fact only an enhancement over actual third generation of Moskvitches — the 408/412. The obvious fourth generation entered in production with the Aleko starting 1986, when both series shared the line for over two years, until 2140 was eventually discontinued in the July 1988.
