ГАЗ-21 Волга 1 серия / GAZ-21 Wołga 1 seria / GAZ-21 Volga 1 series

Construction for replacement of outdated GAZ-20 Pobeda (rus. for Victory) began in 1951. New Volga was released in 1956 and despite having same wheelbase as older model, it was in fact bigger and more comfortable car. Till 1970, when production ceased, 639 478 Volgas were made (including GAZ-22 Universal and GAZ-23 catch-up KGB car). Car was facelifted twice - first time in 1958, then in 1962. This is 1st series model, with unique grille with 3 horizontal bars and big star in front (very soviet thing, pity it wasn't red). Every Volga (excluding GAZ-23) was equipped with 2,4 inline-4 petrol engine, connected to 3-speed manual transmission, or rarely 3-speed automatic (that was proven to be unreliable and difficult to service, as only 3 cities in whole USSR could service them properly).
