History of GAZ-AA
GAZ-AA, NAZ-AA or lorry- legendary freight car Gorky Automobile Plant. GAZ-AA was a many times upgraded licensed copy of the 1930 model AA Ford truck.
The car had a carrying capacity of 1500 kg or one and a half tons, which gave it its name. lorry.
The first "one and a half" GAZ-AA rolled off the assembly line of the Gorky Automobile Plant on January 29, 1932. Then the truck was called NAZ-AA, because Nizhny Novgorod was renamed Gorky a little later.
It was a real breakthrough in the automotive industry: "one and a half" were distinguished by endurance, unpretentiousness, and good performance and what is important for Soviet roads - cross-country ability.
Important role truck GAZ-AA played during the Great Patriotic War and especially - the blockade of Leningrad, providing a connection between the city and the outside world, transporting food and providing evacuation.

The Gorky Automobile Plant is the largest enterprise in the Avtozavodsky district, and probably in the city, too. And the most famous.
And it began in 1930 with a giant construction site. In just 17 months, the construction was basically completed, and by 1932 the plant was put into operation operating enterprises.
On January 29, 1932, the first GAZ-AA truck was assembled on the main conveyor of the automobile plant. More precisely, NAZ-AA, because Nizhny was renamed Gorky a little later.
On it was installed four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 42 liters. With. Due to the low compression ratio of only 4.25, low-octane gasoline was used as fuel, which was very important at that time.
The fact is that high-octane fuel Soviet factories haven't done it yet. And GAZ-AA could drive even on kerosene, even on tractor naphtha.
The power reserve was 215 km. Car carrying capacity - one and a half tons. Therefore, they called the car "one and a half".
GAZ-AA and its modified version GAZ-MM went through the Great Patriotic War and were produced at the car factory until 1949. And in total, almost a million of them were produced by all factories (985 thousand pieces).
In honor of the 50th anniversary of GAZ, it was decided to lay out a square at the main entrance and install a memorial sign of the labor glory of the car factory workers. The workers proposed to install a GAZ-AA truck on a pedestal.
On the side of the monument it is written: "The memorial sign of the labor glory of the automobile plant workers was laid on April 17, 1982 - the year of the fiftieth anniversary of the Gorky Automobile Plant."
Nothing has changed in the park since then. The mosaic panels about the history of the plant, which are shown in the photo above, are still pleasing to the eye. Vladimir Ilyich is still in a hurry to leave the factory (he stands symmetrically to the car, but on the other side of the square).
Only changed opposite side avenue Lenina. Now the workers, having passed through the square and crossed the road, will find themselves in a large hypermarket "Okay". And this is probably convenient and good.
The history of GAZ begins at the end of the twenties of the last century. In March 1929, the council National economy Soviet Union a decree is signed on the start of construction of a new one in the nearest location from Nizhny Novgorod. Construction began in early May 1930. In connection with the settlement formed near the new building in 1931, the Avtozavodsky district was created, and by January 1, 1932, the GAZ was built.
