GAZ-05-193

The GAZ-05-193 was a Soviet small-class army staff bus built on the chassis of the GAZ-AAA truck. It stood on a reinforced stamped-steel ladder frame carrying a gearbox with four forward speeds and one reverse, and a petrol inline four-cylinder side-valve engine with aluminium pistons, of 3.28 litres and 40 horsepower at 2,200 rpm. From 1938 it received an engine of 50 horsepower. From 1942 a simplified staff bus was produced, without a bumper, with a single headlamp and with wooden panelling. Sources differ on how many were built, giving between 237 and 1,952 vehicles. A running, restored example is kept in the Military Hangar collection of Igor Shishkin.
