GAZ-24-10

The GAZ-24-10 Volga was a Soviet medium-sized saloon built by the Gorky Automobile Plant from late 1985 until 1993, a modernised version of the GAZ-24. It took its door handles, part of its interior and other details from the GAZ-3102, and lost the front quarter windows and the rear parking lamps; a year after launch it also gained a black plastic radiator grille. It was a stopgap, because the veto on large-scale production of the GAZ-3102 left the old body in production with newer equipment, and the 1985 changes raised power to 100 horsepower and added a vacuum brake booster. Beyond the basic saloon there were taxi saloons, one of them gas fuelled, estates, an ambulance, and a small series with a V8 engine. It was replaced in 1992 by the GAZ-31029, and 417481 cars of all versions were assembled.
