The GAZ-67 (popularly known as "gazik") is a Soviet off-road passenger car from the Second World War and the post-war period. The first copies of this car appeared in 1943, and serial production continued in 1943-1953 at the plants in the city of Gorky. The vehicle was powered by an SV engine up to 54 HP.
The GAZ-67 was developed as the basic light all-terrain vehicle of the Red Army to replace the GAZ-61 and GAZ-64 cars. The inspiration for the creation of the new car was the American Bantam car, from which the Willys Jeep later evolved. The GAZ-67 - compared to its predecessors - differed in the power unit used, gearbox, reinforced chassis, it was also characterized by a lower failure rate. During and shortly after World War II, it was used primarily to transport 4 to 6 people or 400 kilograms of cargo. Often, various types of radio stations were mounted on it, but rarely - armament in the form of a 7.62 mm Maxim machine gun or a 12.7 mm DSzK machine gun. GAZ-67 cars were widely used in the Red Army from 1943 and in units of the Polish People's Army. Interestingly, the saturation of motorized and mechanized units with them falls on the post-war period, due to a significant increase in production at that time.
