Question from the forum “Behind the wheel” – we answer them from time to time.
— Were there factory versions of the four-wheel drive Volga GAZ‑22 4×4? Or are we talking about some kind of homemade?
– The factory did not make four-wheel drive versions of GAZ‑21 and GAZ‑22. There is an old photo of such a station wagon – but this is a kind of handicraft, possibly associated with one of the Ministry of Defense repair plants.
Station wagons GAZ-22 produced a little. Nevertheless, history has preserved a photo of a rare version, the origin of which is not known with certainty. Most likely, the four-wheel drive GAZ-22 was made not in Gorky, but in a car repair plant. Maybe even military. But later, the concept was already repeated at GAZ, releasing a four-wheel drive sedan GAZ-24-95, already based on the twenty-four, in an edition of five copies.
