GAZ or Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod started in 1929 as NNAZ, a cooperation between Ford and the Soviet Union.
The factory's first model was the medium-priced Ford Model A, sold as GAZ A at first, and Ford Model AA under GAZ AA marque. "A" production commenced in 1932 and lasted until 1936, during which time over 100,000 examples were built.

The A was succeeded by the more modern GAZ M1 (based largely on the Ford V8), produced from 1936 to 1942. M-1 was used as a basis for GAZ-415 pick-up with 400 kg payload capacity.
