His name is Ivanov.
"This interesting home-made car, like its author, undeservedly forgotten in domestic automobile history. I'll try to make up for the gap. To the regret of Google did not help in finding information about this person.
In Leningrad in 1935, Aviator Chevalier t. Ivanov (first name unknown) built on the chassis of the Gaz-A a car of his own design. The machine was for certain services personally from people's Commissar of medium machinebuilding Sergo Ordzhonikidze. Ivanov decided to udlennit′ wheelbase, while setting an additional frame and intermediate shaft with a flexible joint. The vehicle was a sample of the type of body the best European atelier. Closed vent, two doors, the coupe was the original grille and body elements (headlamps, tail side luvry, etc.). A similar streamlined back appeared on European cars only a few years later. The first such machine C27 Aerodyne Voisin company released at the same time-at the turn of the 35-36 years, triggering the present furor in European automotive environment.
Personally, it amazes me how Ivanov's car body was manufactured. Perhaps he was aided by an experienced kuzovŝiki the Leningrad plant, such as auto body shops or VARZa, Atul LSPO. Each of them in the mid-30 's has released the vans or buses to streamline the city's needs. There are only a few body shops can do this kind of body, perhaps only works for reconstruction of transport in Moscow could do something similar-futuristic.
George Ivanov, once made his sport-touring car, drove it in July 1936, through the whole country along the route: Leningrad-Tbilisi-Kiev-Rostov-on-Don-Moscow-Leningrad, along the road back to Minsk, Kharkov, Tula, etc. the city. The entire mileage was 7200 km. The machine has gone this way for hours without a single 156.5 breakdowns and accidents. I think everyone has shared my opinion: these people should be proud, not Stahanovcami, it is unclear why exceeding norms in significant harm product quality. "
