Hi, thanks for the comment. I wrote that it didn't go to production as GAZ-18 in ZAZ factory. ZAZ produced ZAZ-965 that look very similar to this car. Although I'm not 100% sure if it was technically based on this car or rather on Fiat-600. When I have some time I'll look into it and modify article to explain it better.

Best,

ZAZ-965 based on an experimental MZMA-444 (http://www.autowp.ru/pictures/azlk/444/autowp.r...).

Production of this car did not went to ZAZ, it was just discontinued. At that time the USSR did not have a suitable plant for this model:(
As i know two copies of GAZ-18 were built in 1958.
