Auto -- > GAZ - Volga 31105

The GAZ-31105 Volga car developed by GAZ specialists is a restyled version of the previous GAZ-3110 model. In addition to updated chassis made in 2003 (front wheel ball joint suspension, rear wheel suspension antiroll bar, improved gearbox), apperance, lighting devices and body equipment were changed in the Volga GAZ-31105 model. The main purpose of changes is to improve the car look, enhance design safety and make the car more comfortable in use.

Significant changes in the style of the front part of GAZ-31105 appearance were made: along with head lights, the radiator case, the fenders and the hood as well as the front bumper were changed. Volga GAZ-31105 cars are equipped with modern and effective head lights made by Osvar (Vyazniki). They look like a unit combining optical elements of low beam, high beam lights and turn indicators located in one body with high-strength optical diffusor that has a "free" surface. Lighting of road and road side became more even and intensive, safety of the car improved.

The outer lights can be operated by the driver by using new switches located under the wheel, ensuring softer and accurate switching. Design and location of ignition lock was altered completely together with under-wheel switch unit. The new compact ignition lock is more easily accessed when it is on the steering column side surface. Also changed were the steering column shape and the steering wheel style.

The front seats were drastically modified: profile and style of cushions and backs were changed. The new front seats, providing a lot of comfort for the driver and passenger, allow more room overhead, between the steering wheel and the seat cushion as well as between the steering wheel and the seat back. Lowered cushion profile significantly increased room in the front doorway. It is easier for both the driver and the front passenger to get in and out of the car.

As usual numerous packagings of Volga cars can be odered by customers and additional pieces of equipment can be installed to cars by request.

GAZ

GAZ or Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod, Nizhny Novgorod, translated as Gorky Automobile Plant (Russian: ГАЗ or Го́рьковский автомоби́льный заво́д), started in 1929 as NNAZ, a cooperation between Ford and the Soviet Union. The name changed when when the city was renamed after Maxim Gorky. From 1935 to 1956, the official name was augmented with imeni Molotova (literally, named after Molotov).

The factory's first model was the medium-priced Ford Model A, sold as NAZ 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 1936-1942. The M letter stands for Molotovets ('of Molotov's fame'), it was the origin of the car's nickname, Emka (Эмка).

Experience with the A and the M1 allowed the GAZ engineers to develop their own car model independently of Ford. Called the GAZ M2, this more upscale model entered production in 1942 and remained in limited wartime production until 1946. The M2's bodyshell entered limited production in 1941, mounted on a four-wheel drive chassis and sold in small quantities as the GAZ-61 (quite possibly the world's first all-wheel drive passenger car).

During the war years, GAZ engineers worked to develop an all-new car model to enter production once hostilities ended. Called the GAZ-M20 Pobeda (Victory), this affordably-priced sedan with streamlined, fastback styling, entered production in 1946 and was produced by GAZ until 1958. (Licensed production continued in Polish FSO until the 1970's). GAZ-72, a four wheel drive version, was produced in low volume.

GAZ also made GAZ-12 ZIM, GAZ-21 and GAZ-24 Volga and the luxury cars GAZ-13 and GAZ-14 Chaika. GAZ also makes trucks and 4x4s such as the GAZel and the famous GAZ-69.
