GAZ-M-20 “Pobeda” (The victory) is perhaps the most important milestone in the history of the Gorky brand (GAZ) and the Soviet automobile industry as a whole. This car marked a global transition from conservative carriage-like bodies to new streamlined forms that are still relevant today. M-20 became the world's first production model with a body without protruding wings. The development of the machine began even before the war, and continued only after the Battle of Stalingrad, in 1943.
