GAZ M-20 "Pobeda"

"Pobeda" is the russian passenger car produced in 1948-1956 by GAZ (Gorkiy Car Plant).

 

"Pobeda" means "victory" and the choice of name was not accidental. The car's first tests were conducted at Gorky Avto Zavod (GAZ, Gorky Car Plant) in 1943, when victory in WW-2 began to seem likely. The plant was later heavily bombarded, but work was unaffected. The first prototype was ready on November 6, 1944, and after it gained approval the first production model rolled off the assembly line on June 21, 1946. More info in Wikipedia
