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.
