Hungary wasn't part of the USSR. Not officially.
To some extent yes, things were sold and on sale for cars - for example - there were waiting lists. It wasn't communism, as they said "we have to build socialism, until we arrive to communism". On the Hungary, where the economy got more free in an effort to please the people as an after effect of the '56 revolution, this meant getting closer to a market economy. We had stuff other Eastern Block countries didn't have depending if you count Yugoslavia here - I don't -, they had everything, or we had it earlier. From other COMECON countries people came here to buy stuff they couldn't get at home.
