ÿþCFS Macro - GAZ-M415.
CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle.
The GAZ-M415 (Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod) was a general purpose Soviet light truck built by GAZ during 1939 - 1941.
The GAZ-M415 was a development of GAZ-M1 Staff Car (based largely on the four cylinder version of the Ford Model B), powered by a 50hp/2800rpm, 4-cyl, 3285cc gasoline motor, and had a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph).
GAZ or Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (Russia, Nizhny Novgorod), translated as Gorky Automobile Plant (Russian: or >@L:>2A:89 02B><>18;L=K9 702>4), started in 1932 as NAZ, a cooperation between Ford and the Soviet Union.
In May 1929 the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the Ford Motor Company. Under its terms, the Soviets agreed to purchase $13 million worth of automobiles and parts, while Ford agreed to give technical assistance until 1938 to construct an integrated automobile-manufacturing plant at Nizhny Novgorod. Production started on January 1, 1932, and the factory and marque was titled Nizhegorodsky Avtomobilny Zavod, or NAZ, but also displayed the "Ford" sign. GAZ's first vehicle was the medium-priced Ford Model A, sold as the NAZ-A, and a light truck, the Ford Model AA (NAZ-AA). NAZ-A production commenced in 1932 and lasted until 1936, during which time over 100,000 examples were built.
In 1933, the factory's name changed to Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod, or GAZ, when the city was renamed after Maxim Gorky; similarly, models were renamed GAZ-A and GAZ-AA. From 1935 to 1956, the official name was augmented with imeni Molotova (literally, named after Molotov).
The GAZ-A was succeeded by the more modern GAZ M1 (based largely on the four cylinder version of the Ford Model B), produced from 1936 to 1942. The M letter stands for Molotovets ('of Molotov's fame'), it was the origin of the car's nickname, M'ka (-<:0).
Experience with the A and the M1 allowed the GAZ engineers to develop their own car model independently of Ford. Called the GAZ 11, this more upscale model entered production in 1942 and remained in limited wartime production until 1946.
During the war GAZ also assembled Chevrolet G7107 and G7117 (G7107 with winch) from parts shipped from the USA according to Lend Lease agreement.
Other models developed during WWII, based on the GAZ M1, were the four wheel drive GAZ 67 and the GAZ M-415 pick -up.
