The Volga M-21 modification with a three-speed automatic was supposed to become the main one for this model, but Soviet reality turned out to be different. Most of the Volgas were produced with a manual transmission, and about 700 cars with automatic transmission were assembled. One of these sedans is up for sale in Yekaterinburg for 7 million rubles.
The car has undergone a full cycle of restoration work. The seller claims that the model was based on a 1959 Volga, which rolled off the assembly line of the Gorky Automobile Plant with an automatic transmission. During many years of restoration work, the car received its original restored box. with a lever on the steering column. The interior uses original upholstery fabrics.
The “automatic” on the Volga was combined with a standard 2.4 gasoline engine; it was developed on the basis of a Ford transmission. The car for sale in Yekaterinburg belongs to the so-called “first series” – with a chrome star on the radiator grille. Such Volgas were produced from the end of 1956 to 1959, when the car of the “second series” received a radiator grille with wide vertical slats.
Volgas with automatic transmission were not widely used due to the lack in the USSR of the required quantity of high-quality lubricants and the lack of maintenance culture for such units.
