History Stump the H.A.M.B.: Ukraine Edition

I’m visiting Ukraine from the US and this is the oldest car I have seen. Anyone know what it is? It’s like it’s American cousins only smaller.

 

Wolga (GAZ) 21. Long distance cousin (a little bit licensed, a little bit ripped of) Ford. Engine as far as i remember is of Dodge origin.

Piece of shit Volga. Heres what some people do with them. I have one myself.
After about 40 years they start to fall apart. Thats when the body panels finally line up.

 

Cool, I want a Volga Gasser.

 

I like that 2 door custom. It looks good. A gasser version would be sweet. Wikipedia says Yuri Gagarin was gifted one after his space flight

 

Volga, is that a woman's body part or what???

 

Jay Leno has one.. The car that is....

 

I like the hardtop version

 

I believe the hardtop is built on a fast late model BMW floorpan.

 

Looks like they park on sidewalks over there.

 

A 1963 Budugly deluxe special???

 

I wanted to guess Pobeda. It would have been the only time I could use the word in conversation ...

 

I'm gettin' a Willys Aero vibe for some reason.

 

one thing for certain, it is good to be an American where our old cars are really cool and not sad looking like that one.
