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 first prototype of the Pobeda was coded M-25 and was manufactured in 1944. It featured a six-cylinder engine.

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.

Commercial Pobeda vehicles of the first series were built from the summer of 1946 until 1948, after which production was stopped due to a lot of design flaws and critically poor quality. External features of the first series of cars: Read more
