Description
This is walfasized GAZ-AA (also known as "Polutorka") - Truck of the Nizhny Novgorod (1932), later the Gorky Automobile Plant, lifting capacity of 1.5 tons (1,500 kilograms) Originally was a licensed copy of the American model of Ford AA truck model 1930, but subsequently was repeatedly upgraded.
The first serial GAZ-AA descended from the conveyor of the Nizhny Novgorod car plant (NAE) January 29, 1932. By the end of the factory, renamed after the city in the Gorky Automobile, produced 60 trucks GAZ-AA in the day. In contrast to the American Ford models AA, on the Soviet GAZ-AA was reinforced clutch, steering, installed air filter and so on. D., And another in 1930 for the Soviet designed drawings of the body board. Fully parts of the Soviet GAZ-AA collected since 1933. Until 1934 the cabin was made of wood and cardboard, and then replaced by a metal cabin with leatherette roof.
In 1938 the truck was upgraded and received a 50-horsepower engine GAZ-MM (its modification GAZ-M installed on the car GAZ-M1 "Molotovets-1", better known as "Emka"), an enhanced suspension and new steering mechanism and the propeller shaft. There wasn't external differences from the GAZ-AA on GAZ-MM.
Shortly after the outbreak of World War II due to lack of thin cold-rolled steel and a number of components supplied by third-party companies, GAZ was forced to move to a simplified edition of a military truck GAZ-MM-B (in-plant index MM-13), whose doors were replaced by triangular side fences and fold canvas doors wings were made of corrugated iron by simple bending, no brakes on the front wheels, left only one Headlamp and with rigid side boards.
In 1944, the pre-war equipment was partially restored: there were wooden doors, the cabin has again become wood-metal (and remained so until the end of the truck), and later reappeared front brakes, side flaps and the second light. Last GAZ-MM came down from Gorky conveyor October 10, 1949. A year (and according to some estimates, up to 1956) GAZ-AA was built in Ulyanovsk, where they were released in 1947.
Years NAE (GAS) -AA / GAZ-MM: on NAZ / GAZ - 1932-1949; at the Moscow plant KIM - 1933-1939; car assembly plant in the Rostov - 1939-1941; on UlZiS - 1942-1950.
It was produced 985,000 copies of GAZ-AA and GAZ-MM and derivatives thereof, including for 1941-45 - 138 600. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War in the ranks of the Red Army there were 151,100 cars.
Thus, the "Polutorka" was the most massive Soviet car the first half of the XX century. It could be seen on the roads of the country until the late 60s.
