GAZ-M-1 ("Emka") - a Soviet passenger car produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant. The car replaced the GAZ-A in 1936. The main innovation of the car was an all-metal body (but with a leatherette upper part of the roof), created in cooperation with Ford, under a technical cooperation agreement. The body of the popular Ford B Model 40A was taken as the basis. However, the car was seriously redesigned by Soviet specialists. GAZ-M-1 was distinguished by a forced engine of the GAZ-A model (50 hp), a powerful frame, longitudinal springs (instead of transverse ones), low-pressure tires, stamped rims. Based on the GAZ-M-1, the following were created: a GAZ-415 pickup truck, a taxi, six-cylinder modifications of the GAZ-11-73 (sedan) and a GAZ-11-40 phaeton.
