History
It was essentially a GAZ-M1 with a higher stance and all-wheel drive (one of the world's first all-wheel drive passenger cars). It could climb angles up to 38 degrees and cross water up to Template:Cvt deep.
The first version, produced from 1940 until 1941, was a five-seat four-door phaeton. It was powered by a Template:Cvt six-cylinder four-stroke engine with Template:Cvt and a top speed of Template:Cvt. Many supreme commanders of the Red Army headquarters used this car in 1941.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In 1941, the updated GAZ-61-73 was introduced. It became a five-seat, four-door six-light saloon with the same engine, but now rated at a top speed of Template:Cvt.
The GAZ-61 was produced not only in civilian black but also in blue and Russian 4BO green, together with the typical cross-country tread tires.
