The seller claims that this GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine provides a driving experience like a new car. It is known that this GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine is currently located in the capital city of Moscow, Russia.
The GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine began development in 1948 at the request of the former Soviet government. 2 years later, the GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine was put into production.
At that time, the former Soviet government needed a 6-seater sedan to fill the gap between the ZIS-110 and M20 Pobeda, also produced by GAZ. The GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine was the model that the former Soviet government was looking for.
The GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine is equipped with an extended chassis borrowed from the M20 Pobeda. The “heart” of this limousine is a 6-cylinder inline engine with a displacement of 3.5 liters and a maximum power of about 95 horsepower.
Unfortunately, the GAZ-12 ZIM Limousine was only produced until 1960 due to political issues. During that 10-year period, a total of 21,527 GAZ-12 ZIM Limousines were produced.
