A video of a parade of restored vehicles, built 1932-1988, a number of which appear to be licence-built versions of Western vehicles.

I do believe that in the early days there was an arrangement by Henry Ford with Gaz. The grey car is a Model A in all respects, even though it was built in 1932

The truck behind it at the start of the video also looks very much Ford Model A.
The cream coloured pick up looks like a nice vehicle.

I agree Rootes75. That truck is definitely an AA. Most, if not all of the GAZ vehicles pre-war had remarkable resemblances to Fords.

Back in the late 1950's, I was told of Russia still using four wheel drive versions of Model A Fords by the military. It is something that I have never been able to conform or otherwise.
