moskvichok ◊ 2023-07-27 19:53	GAZ-21R - is a basic model of Volga in 1965-1970. There were four series: 1) GAZ-M21 (1956-58), also known as "star" ( /vehicle_344435-GAZ-M-21-Volga-1957.html ); 2) GAZ-21I (or GAZ-M-21I), 1958-62, also known as "shark's mouth" ( /vehicle_148858-GAZ-M-21-Volga-1958.html ); 3) GAZ-21L (or GAZ-M-21L), 1962-65, aslo known as "whalebone" ( /vehicle_1123603-GAZ-M-21-Volga-1962.html ); 4) GAZ-21R (1965-70). The external differences from GAZ-21L were insignificant: in particular, longer windscreen wipers. -- Last edit: 2023-07-29 19:43:28
GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2023-07-27 20:55	Interesting! In my opinion, the 1962-'70 Volga more fits the "shark's mouth" nickname due to the grille more resembling teeth. They certainly are ominous-looking in black.

The latest generation of GAZ-21. Changed, in particular, the spars at the attachment point of the steering mechanism. Roller bearings were installed in the front hubs instead of ball bearings. There are new seats, upgraded heater and wiper. Ribs are missing from the rear lights. Until the end of production, the GAZ-21 was in high demand. And after the plant finally switched to the production of the GAZ-24, the Volga M-21 still had a good reputation, some motorists considered them to be stronger and more reliable cars than the GAZ-24.
