"Zim" - aka M12 gas. History 2 brothers.

And so, the GAZ-12 - "Zim". Soviet six-seater car was produced until 1956.
My grandfather bought this in 1954. bought because the birth of their son, my father. Later, in 1955. Grandfather bought a second Zim. in connection with the birth of my uncle. The first machine was given to my father on his wedding day, and the second Uncle 2 years respectively. Even in the hands of his uncle and father, they worked until the year 1990-1991, then "went to the garage." The first car Grandpa "restored" (if you can call it that) in 2000, at that time it looked perfect.
The truth now, 10 years after the "restoration", a little paint peeled off, in general, appreciate yourself.
