The GAZ-21 Volga is a Soviet medium passenger car produced serially at Gorky automobile plant from 1956 (1957) till 1970. The plant designation of the model was initially GAZ-М-21, later (from 1965) — GAZ-21. Altogether 639, 478 copies of all modifications were produced.
The cars of the production from 1956 till November 1958 got subsequently the name “the first series” (also “with a star”).
Totally in the series of 1956 there were five exemplars. The mass production began only in the next year.
Till the end of 1957 the car was turned out with a heavy-duty L-head engine from the Pobeda, which had an increased working volume due to cylindrical boring till 88 mm and an enlarged degree of compression up to 7.0:1 (2.42 l., 65 hp at ,3800 rev/ min, a torsion toque is 15.8 kg•м). Today it is one of the rarest modifications. L-head engine aggregated only with a mechanical gearbox.
In the end of 1957 the plant began to equip the cars with a new own engine (2.445 l, 70 hp).
A few cars “with a star” in the original design are extant nowadays. The most part of the preserved cars were partly remade into later modifications. Owing to it there is relatively a high demand of “the first production” at Russian market of “old-timers”.
