...a Norwegian advertisement picture for the GAZ Pobeda 4wd ('56). Just in case you wondered what a Russian cousin of a '53 Chevy by the fjords looked like.

These were popular taxis in Finland. Here's a picture of multiple Pobeda taxis waiting for customers in 1956.

Interesting that their grill design (and nothing else) changed over time. What I assume is an earlier Pobeda in that picture is strongly reminiscent of an American Nash, but the influences on the later model are more diverse.

'48 Nash models:

I think GAZ changed the grille about 3 times over the course of production, but that was about the extent of the updates on the Soviet cars.

FSO, on the other hand, made some pretty radical changes to their version, eventually converting it to a 3-box shape and giving it a vaguely Morris Minor-y front treatment.
