This visitor in shop is heading back to it´s owner today.
Was kind of an love and hate affair to fit the flathead in it...even if it was built that way in -37 years of "evolution" and no real solid documentation made it a trial and error job.

Very interesting. Several "inovations" to ponder.

OK; I give up. What is it? A "Fordvo"?

It´s a russian built -37...ford licensed whatever leftovers and tooling to russia.

First from model-A and later for this model.

That rear axle is built for battleground floating axle to spring mount and huge travel.

Only 600 was built with a flathead for the intelligence people if rumour is right.

I wondered if it might be a Gaz (sort of). My mate Henry in Holland (34Gaz) has something similar - (the clue is in the name).
