1936-1943 GAZ-M1 4-Door Sedan - a photo on Flickriver

1936-1943 GAZ-M1 4-Door Sedan

            I would like you to join me into the early history of the Russian automobile industry.
Russia knew a few automobile manufacturers in the first quarter of the 20th Century, (thanks Anton VG for the lacking info) but until the 1920s vehicle industry in general was mainly limited to utility and agricultural vehicles, and for transport of goods and raw materials.
Contacts with Ford offered better quality trucks like the GAZ-AA truck (or NAZ-AA as it was called in the first production year). Later also a passenger car was developed, the GAZ-A Sedan (or NAZ-A).

This image is taken from a set of twelve 1980s postcards about the history of the Russian automobile. It shows the 5-passenger GAZ-M1 sedan. Inspiration was found in the 1932-1934 Ford Model B. GAZ had a license contract with Ford. 
The first M1 prototype was presented in February 1935.
The M-1 was the successor of the 1932-1936 GAZ-A, which was based on the 1927-1931 Ford Model A.
Production ended in 1941, but assemblage could be continued till 1943 with rest parts and components with were still in stock.
