Post by: grobmotorix on September 09, 2007, 01:28:43 AM: Well, as far as I understand this website, it is a GAZ M1 as the pictures are described at their bottom, not as their top. Maybe I´m wrong, then it would be a GAZ M21.

But here´s the site, I´ve found the pic:

Post by: GRAYWOLF on September 09, 2007, 11:43:18 PM: The chassis was designated as M1. It has a different designation with the tracks.

I am wondering if the different designation is some kind of obvious initialism in Russian

Autre modèle, le GAZ M1, chenillé. (1936-1938)

It´s called "Emka" in Russian - that´s for general

And this site:

http://www.autogallery.org.ru/gaz2138.htm

tells us this fact:

GAZ-21 - 3-axle
Quote
6x4 GAZ-4, GAZ-M1 based 3-axles pickup.

So it seems that in russian nomenklatura, all 6x4 GAZ were called GAZ 21, were they based upon a GAZ 4 or GAZ M1.

So I don´t really know what more I can tell you.... :-\

Let´s initiate a discussion group for this puzzle...

Post by: GRAYWOLF on December 30, 2007, 04:11:04 PM: I forgot about it as well...

I did get it from that site. The site identifies it as a rare truck, one that the site builder has never seen in person, nor in registration books.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on April 05, 2008, 03:22:24 AM: It's a GAZ VM, according to that site. If that's the response you're after, I insist the point go to Grob.

Post by: grobmotorix on April 06, 2008, 08:08:55 AM: Well, I knew it s a half-track car by NATI on Gaz-M1 chassis, built around 1938, but I had no model designation...
