UPDATE: Steve notes the original GAZ was built in only 50 days based on a newspaper clipping. Here’s additional information:

Darrel wrote me recently noting that he has a 1945 GAZ-67B living in his garage. He said it was also known as an Ivan-Willys, which is similiar to a real Willys, because it has a Ford-A engine that was made in Russia under license. It is cool! Thanks for sharing Darrel!
Darrel writes, “The GAZ 67 World War Russian vehicles were produced from 1943 to 1953. There were only 5000 of these models made during the war, but in total there were 92,843 of these models produced. It had a 4-cylinder 3280 cc gasoline motor and a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph).”
And here is a GAZ 67 and GAZ 67B video with some strange music …
