GAZ was the most abundant model of car in USSR. In 1945, GAZ trucks were the most abundant and accounted for 53.5% of all trucks (trucks made up 65.1% of all vehicles in the USSR).* GAZ cars, also in 1945, were the most abundant cars and constituted 30.8% of all cars (cars made up 16.7% of vehicles in the Soviet Union).* It made everything starting from a "Volga" (GAZ-21, 24, 31, 32) to a limousine luxury car like "Chaika" (GAZ-12) and a truck such as GAZ-51. GAZ was one of the first Soviet factories, manufacturing cars from before World War II. GAZ-Gorkovsky Automobile Plant was built in Gorky (called Nizhniy Novgorod before 1930 located not far from Moscow) in 1929 and the first cars made there were very similar, if not identical, to American Fords of that time. The construction of these early GAZes continued through the end of WWII.
