Russian Trucks and Cars

[Kuno]

3'380'000 ZIL 130 trucks were produced from 1962 until 1994. It is therefore still a very common sight in all Countries of the former Soviet Union. But production did not stop - since 1995 the same truck is produced by the manufacturer UamZ under the designation UamZ-43140. I have to admit that I cannot differentiate the two...

Looking pretty similar as the ZIL-130: The GAZ 53 truck. The truck was introduced in 1961 and manufactured until 1993. The only obvious difference to its counterpart is the front grille... even the painting, blue cabin and white front is similar:

There is also a bus-version of the GAZ 53:

Now a personal car - the GAZ M21 Volga. Here the version which was built between 1961 and 1972:

Another Volga-version was the GAZ 24 which was built between 1968 and 1972:

This is PAZ-672; these buses have the benzine engines only, not diesel.

This is, most probably, KrAZ-256 with early type forward wheels.

This is could to be also GAZ-52 truck, which was the same as GAZ-53, but had another engine and smaller weight-carrying ability - 2,5 ton instead 3 ton.
ZiL-130 and GAZ-52/-53 differs by engines, dimensions and weight-carrying ability: ZiL-130 could to carry weight up to 6 ton. GAZ-52 had 75 HP engine, GAZ-53 - 115 HP engine, ZiL-130 - 150 HP engine.

Note: behind this GAZ-52/-53 truck on the photo the blue vehicle is seen. This is old, also rare today, ErAZ-762 delivery van. These vehicles were produced in Armenia from 1966:
