GAZ-69 replaced 
GAZ-67B
in 1953 and was being assembled until 1972, practically without changes. First
year cars were produced in Gorky (so called from 1930 to 1992, right now renamed
into its Russian name [as opposed to Soviet] - Nizhniy Novgorod). Then, at the
end of 1954 production of GAZ-69 was transferred to Ulianovsk, and from then on
GAZ-69 became known as UAZ-69.
Production of GAZ-69 in Gorky ceased in 1956 (3 years after it was begun). Even
though GAZ-69 technically became known as UAZ-69, the new title was not widely
used by people nor in official papers, that's why this car is generally
considered to be a GAZ. The engine of the car was taken from the well known GAZ-M-20
"Pobeda". There are no side view mirror on this car, and the only
small mirror secured at the center of the windshield was not very practical because
of the tarpaulin tent covering that had only a small window in the back. In 1970,
however, 2 windows appeared on each side of the tarpaulin tent.
