Quote:
Undoubtedly one of the weirdest protoypes was the GAZ 16A. Written out the abbreviation stood for ‘Gorkowsky Awtomobilny Sawod’ which loosely translated means ‘Automobile Plant Gorki’. Founded already in 1932 the company served to manufacture trucks, passenger cars and special vehicles like amphibian vehicles. As with beginning of the 1950s the East-West-conflict intesified GAZ got development jobs. In the beginning of the 1960s another vehicle class was added – air cushion vehicles or better known as hovercrafts. The engineers of GAZ had knowledge of the conceptual difficutlies of hovercrafts but still managed to design a harmonic car body for the new vehicle concept.
