GAZ (Volga) M-21, 1966

INFORMATION
The GAZ M21 Volga, the first car to carry the Volga name, was developed in the early 1950s. Volgas were built with high ground clearance (what gives it a specific "high" look, contrary to "low-long-sleek" look of Western cars of resembling design), rugged suspension, strong and forgiving engine, and rustproofing on a scale unheard of in the 1950s.

The Volga was stylistically in line with the major United States manufacturers of the period, and incorporated such then-luxury features as the reclining front seat, cigarette lighter, heater, windshield washer and 3-wave radio.

My favorite Soviet/Russian car ever. 👍

It also had a special version called GAZ 23 that was powered with a 195 hp V8 engine from Chaika. It was used by KGB units as an interceptor.
