Here is one of the many 1:43 reproductions of the Russian miniature manufacturer Nash Avtoprom. The 11-73, produced until 1948 and replaced by the famous Pobeda, was launched in 1941. It was based on the 1936 GAZ M1, which was itself based on a Ford Model B. Its design is quite outdated. The 11-73 was a propulsion, equipped with a 6 cylinder 3.5-liter developing 76 hp.

The GAZ M21 Volga was released in late 1955. Its front part was changed in 1959: the M21 got rid of its large horizontal blades and replaced them with a grille with 16 vertical vents. In 1961, the grille was redesigned again, with 37 thin vertical blades. After a very slow start of production, the GAZ M21 Volga, successor to the Pobeda, was a Soviet bestseller in the 1960s.

This successor to the Pobieda was unveiled in autumn 1955. But the production of this 4.83 m/190 in. long Volga did not begin before October 1956. IXO reproduced here the first Volga M21, recognizable by its horizontal grille with a central round inspired by western models of the time, including Fords. This front grille was updated in 1959 with new vertical bars.

Like all GAZ models at that time, the M1, launched in 1936, closely derived from a Ford model. In that case, it was a 4-cylinder Ford B. The production regularly continued until 1941, then in dribs and drabs until 1943. Here, the Russian model car manufacturer Nash Avtoprom reproduced the Taxi version. The Phaeton convertible is also available.

Information is scarce about this Soviet car, produced in small series between 1934 and 1936. Here we have the "sedan" version of the Gaz A, therefore, covered with a solid roof, and not a tarp. The base was the 1927 Ford Model A. So the lines, in 1934, were no more up to date... This is one of the many miniature cars at 1:43 scale of the Russian manufacturer Nash Avtoprom.

The GAZ AAA was the three-axle version of the GAZ AA, which was itself a variant of the Ford pickup AA. Here we have a “Karakum” version. This 9,400 km/5,800 miles expedition conducted in 1933, departing from Moscow, went to the Karakum Desert in Turkemnistan and return to Moscow. This Soviet event was comparable to the Yellow and Black Cruises oragnized by Citroën.

The GAZ M21 was released at the end of 1955 and its station wagon variant M22 was available in 1962. This was the second facelift for the Volga: note the 37 thin vertical strips. Ten of them miss on this reproduction by Ist Models, made with particular care. This two-colour export version (1962-1965) was called M22G.

Most of the career of the GAZ 69 was made under the brand UAZ (it was then simply called UAZ 69). It was released in 1953, and also available in the catalogue of the Romanian manufacturer Aro. Compared to the GAZ 69A, the distinction is easy: here only two doors, four for the other variant, also reproduced by the Russian miniature specialist Nash Avtoprom.

The Soviet Company GAZ was founded in 1932. After WWII, the USSR car production often copied European or American models. But before, the vehicles were officially based on American cars. The M415, which looked like the GAZ M1 sedan and was released in 1937, was really a variant of the Ford AA. Nash Avtoprom reproduces this model, more or less forgotten today, at a small prize.

Produced from 1930 to the end of the 1940s, the GAZ 03-30 was based on the GAZ AA, ie the American Ford AA. But only front-wheel drives were available. During that period, 18,000 units of the 03-30 to 17 places were assembled. The 3.3-liter 4-cylinder (50 hp) engine could reach the speed of 65 km/h (40 mph).

The career of this phaeton was rather short since the 11-40, directly based on the 11-73 sedan (also reproduced by Nash Avtoprom) was produced in 1940 and 1941. Only six units are supposed to have been manufactured. The engine was borrowed from the 11-73 (76 hp 3.5-litre 6-cylinder), while the chassis was an old Ford platform.

The GAZ Volga M21 was unveiled in the USSR at the end of 1955, as a successor to the Pobeda. Production started so slowly that the Swiss Revue Automobile in 1961 wrote: "mass production planned". The Volga was actually a Soviet bestseller in the 1960s. The Russian miniature manufacturer Nash Avtoprom also reproduces the station wagon GAZ M22.

Here is one of the many 1:43 reproductions of the Russian miniature manufacturer Nash Avtoprom. The 11-73, produced until 1948 and replaced by the famous Pobeda, was launched in 1941.

Produced from 1950 to 1959, the GAZ 12 Zim was long (5.53 m/218 in.) and copied the style of Cadillacs of the time, while based on the Gaz Pobieba. Its 3.5-litre six-cylinder (76 hp) mated with a 3 speed gearbox was borrowed from the industrial vehicle branch of GAZ. IST had already reproduced the Zim 12, Nash Avtoprom offers now a simpler but cheaper version.
