Pobeda-phaeton is a replica of a car based on GAZ M-20 “Pobeda”, designed for military parades..The GAZ never built Pobeda-phaetons.
In 1947, a few Pobeda-phaetons were produced by a military plant in the city of Bronnitsy. In the following years, several more automobiles were made by various automobile workshops.
In 1949-53, 14,222 M-20s were built with 4-door convertible body (of 'cabrio coach' type), but sales were poor and the GAZ never returned to the idea of mass-producing a convertible. The only reason to create a cabriolet, less practical in Soviet climate, were low production capabilities of sheet metal, due to war damage.
Now Pobeda-phaeton is the most popular exhibit of our museum. Almost every visitor is photographed with this car.
