carsntrucks4you Posted May 12 Posted May 12 (edited) The GAZ M-20 "Pobeda"(Victory) was build in the USSR between 1946 - 1958. The Design was influenced by the 1941 Chevrolet Fleetline and the 1948 Opel Kapitän. After the production start in 1946 with 23 hand built cars the production was hold in 1948 to solve the quality issues on the car. In 1949 the production starts again, but again the quality was poor. After 235,999 units the production ends. The correct answer were sent in by: Ace-Garageguy otherunicorn peteski thatz4u Congratulations Edited May 19 by carsntrucks4you

peteski Posted Friday at 05:40 PM Posted Friday at 05:40 PM (edited) When growing up I used to see lots of this car's Polish versions (Warszawa M20). Basically the same car with different grille. Many of them were taxi cabs. Their Polish nickname was "garbata" (hunchback), same nickname used for VW beetles at that time. Polish version was in production for much longer than Pobeda, and other versions like sedan with a conventional trunk, wagon, and few cargo versions were developed. The chassis and drive train was also used in other Polish made cars, vans and small trucks. Edited Friday at 05:41 PM by peteski
