But GAZ AA always had double rear wheels. This is Ford AA assembled in USSR: "These first Ford assembly as the Soviet times and the cars were Ford-AA sample in 1928, had wood-cabin. The wheels on them are already used disc, but not those that we used is usually seen on the "lorry". They were not five, and six triangular windows, and were like "turning inside out": the convex part of the disc inside. Henry Ford even in small things remained true to himself and by any means, sought to cheapen the cost of the machine. With such wheels track vehicles increased by the disks themselves, which means that you could do shorter bridges, saving metal. However, to set them on the rear axle in the saddle form was impossible. Therefore, soon appeared "Ford " with familiar now 5-window wheels, mounted traditionally, the convex part of the outside - photo3. Yes, and the narrow side bodywork was replaced with a more practical solid."

I agree it's a Ford AA. The GAZ-AA had a slightly different radiator, in that the top of the core was straight, rather than curved to accommodate the Ford oval. Compare /vehicle_357163-GAZ-AA-1932.html -- Last edit: 2012-02-22 20:08:06 |
