This successor to the Pobieda was unveiled in autumn 1955. But the production of this 4.83 m/190 in. long Volga did not begin before October 1956. IXO reproduced here the first Volga M21, recognizable by its horizontal grille with a central round inspired by western models of the time, including Fords. This front grille was updated in 1959 with new vertical bars.
