The Empress's favorite Soviet directors, nd Greek secret services of taxi drivers. GAZ M-21 Volga - Soviet glove thrown American limousines - can captivate today.The carmaker GAZ (GAZ) at Gorky began work on a new car for "ordinary people" - was in November 1953. It was a GAZ Volga M-21, he successor to the famous Pobeda. We can say that the Soviet limousine had two "fathers" - the first was the chief designer Alexander Mikhailovich Něvzorov, nother designer Leo Jeremejeva. The car should be a standard product and illustrate the possibilities of Soviet technological progress. During the Cold War it was primarily concerned to show that Russians are able to produce cars as good as those that came from the automotive homeland - the United States. The designers of the Volga M-21 they were no doubt aware of who set the trends in the automotive industry, nd let yourself be inspired by American models. The result was not bad at all - the car that have designed (at least in appearance concerns), here were quite modern. Many people who are looking for love in all the conspiracy theories and who know the passion of Soviet planners for good copy foreign models, oint out the striking resemblance Custom Ford Mainline 1952. They are partly right - both cars are you at first glance very similar, specially the front, owever, f it really was more of an inspiration than an attempt an exact copy, s it happened in other cases, nd structural design has been more or less the work of Soviet engineers.It is not gold ...Design "Jednadvacítka" - as the car said the Russians - was really modern, irst Volga was just nice. Technical solutions of the car but, nfortunately, agged considerably behind the standards that reigned at that time in Western countries. The first prototypes of the car had the engine borrowed from predecessors Pobeda, he time is replaced with a completely new drive unit: Upper four-cylinder engine objemu2445 cm³. It was not dynamic - to accelerate to 100 km / h with 34 needed, ut it was durable. It was not uncommon for one engine ran over Volga million kilometers - everything engine needed was three times regrind war. Tomas Enge is that this engine with minor modifications still produced and used in automobiles GAZ-3110th
Initially used two transmissions - manual and mechanical. The Soviet market was not enough quality oils and mechanics who would know how to deal with these complex mechanisms, o over time, anufacturers refrained from vending machines and in 1958 started in all cars assembled by a simple and seamless mechanical gearbox.Also, he suspension was simple. Front independent wishbone arms, ear solid axle leaf spring suspension. This solution not only ensured stability while driving during driving fast on the road, ut excellently also proved successful in overcoming obstacles in challenging terrain. Soviet designers had yet to take into account the state of roads in this vast and backward country - Volga managed to overcome creeks and streams, rive through snowdrifts and mud and continue on a sandy dirt road.During the first three years of production, he car was equipped with a central lubrication system. Special pedal depress the set in motion a system that oil greased the whole suspension. This solution was unfortunately quite a disturbance. It happened that the distribution of oil tube cracked or corroded over time and oil then flows out.
Europe's best car in 1958 ADAlthough it may seem unlikely at the World Expo 1958 in Brussels gained GAZ M-21 Volga Grand Prix. In communist countries, his fact functioned primarily as an argument in ideological disputes - evidence that Soviet technology far exceeds that rotten West. However, n capitalist countries the Grand Prix great ads. Soviet foreign trade enterprise began thus GAZ M-21 Volga export to the West, hich for him was surprisingly interested. The car had a good reputation there - people valued him above all for its durability and reliability. Legendary solidly built and the corrosion resistance could boast because the body panels are thicker in some places than 1 mm. Therefore, he car also called "tank on wheels" or "tank in a tailcoat." Most cars were sold in Finland, orway and Greece, hich were especially popular among taxi drivers. To cars for export were mounted diesel engine also Perlin or Rover. Compared with American limousines it was Volga M-21 may be small, ut the European market was one of the larger vehicles. Variants of the car lettered A T and later had a single front seat as conventional models, ut two independent seats. On the back seat is deemed able to comfortably accommodate up to four people. The GAZ factories were also made about 100 copies hand drive cars, ut the UK market has failed to conquer Volga. There has sold only 15 cars. The rest of the "mirror" Volga ended up in Indonesia.Limousine for officialsGAZ M-21 Volga car should be for ordinary people. In theory, e could buy anyone, ut in practice it was a car service so to speak. Officials drove him so. the second tier or directors, arty officials, eople from the Ministry ... all those who were important enough to make something better than traveled by car Pobeda, ut not important enough to be able to ride seagull. It was reserved for the most important chiefs. GAZ M-21 Volga was also a popular model secret service - the KGB and GRU. KGB used models bred Volga GAZ-23rd From outside "Jednadvacítka" no different, ut they were faster. Speed ​​of 100 km / h were able to achieve in 14 seconds. Relatively fast, ig metal knob and spacious, ith a large luggage compartment into which it was possible to stick always the enemy of the people "in defense of the socialist system."Evolution in the country revolutionDuring the 14 years that GAZ M-21 produced, t was systematically modernized. Several times with engine modifications - for export models with its power increased to 85 hp. Dummy coolers became increasingly sophisticated. By three chromed cross fins with a star in the middle (almost identical dummy was also at Ford cyst) over 16 vertical holes in the hood of the 1962 design of the cooling he stopped for 36 vertical chrome ribs. In the same year, he manufacturer withdrew from the characteristic figures prancing deer on the hood and was replaced by a flat feature of the GAZ plant. This decision probably saved the lives of many pedestrians who used to be a deer, he hood tightly fused, ften severely injured. Upholstery on the seats nahrdila washable leatherette. Technical changes were related to the damping device - arm dampers replace shock absorbers telescopic. In 1962 GAZ comes with a station wagon variant designated GAZ-22, hich is used among other things as ambulance. In total, n the years 1956-1970 in the car factory in Gorky vyrobilo638 875 cars GAZ-21 and GAZ-22nd The last specimen "tank in a tailcoat" rolled off the production line on 15 June 1970th
