The development of the new GAZ passenger car started in the pre-war period, but the main work took place in 1943-1945. The “Pobeda“ (“Victory”) was produced commercially since 1946, mass-produced since 1948, and stayed on the assembly line until 1958. In Poland, the Pobeda was produced in a modernized form until the 1970s under the name FSO Warszawa.
It is considered one of the world's first large-scale production cars with a pontoon body.

Scale and full-size models of the M-20 Pobeda were built over several years before running prototype No. 1 was produced in 1944.

The second beige Pobeda, designated M-20, was equipped with a four-cylinder engine and completed at the beginning of 1945. It was he who became the prototype of future production cars.
