First SUV Ever
Nowadays SUV’s are very popular all over the world, all major car makes started production of their own all-road luxury cars. The concept behind the SUV is to get comfort of the luxury car but have four wheel drive on big rims so that you can go off the road with the same feeling.
But it seems that in Soviet Russia they had already this ideal car - you can see here a luxury Soviet “Pobeda” (”Victory”) car on the high wheels, and people say it is not a self-made thing but was in production in limited edition at the car factory, so it can be probably not only the first Russian SUV but first SUV ever.

Totally Photoshop. SUB Pobeda? Nigga please.
Bruce Springsteen owns one of these babies.
Photoshop? Stupid fag…
First!!!!!
FAIL.
Looks great, in what years was it built?
1949-1950
w00t!
Some say Pobeda (named so after the victory in WWII) was a Soviet clone of German pre-war Opel Kapitän.
Just like Moskwitch 400 was actually Opel Olympia produced in USSR using plans and equipment plundered in Germany after war. http://www.moskvich-401.ru/history.htm
P.S. FYI: The pictures in this article here feature HEAVILY MODIFIED Pobeda.
Although they did build a handful of 4WD Pobedas (GAZ M-72 http://sovavto.0catch.com/gaz/M72.jpg ), a hybrid of GAZ-69 rolling gear and GAZ M-20 body in the 50s.
“Pobeda” was desighned in USSR in
It was the first serial car in the world, at a kotra wings made a single whole with a body. The body was “pontoon” type.

I DONT CARE I AM FIRST!
We don’t care either.
Listen, if you like my name so much - why don’t you use “Boris Abramov2″? You have my name, I have my name, everyone is happy
So, how about is?
If we have your name can we have you too? So that everyone is really happy?
So, how about is?
In Soviet Russia, your name has you.
It’s very niiiiiice.
Modified or not, this is a very distinctive vehicle. Thanks for the post.
Reminds me of a VW “baja” bug. I’d buy one of those, they should start making them again, sell them in the US, looks like off-road version of Plymouth PT Cruiser.
Only a real “knee grow” like me can drive that car
And pic caption is plain wrong: first SUV (wagon body on a light truck frame) was 1933 Suburban
Are you sure?
Something like this would have sold like hotcakes in the U.S. during the 50’s and 60’s.
They might sell pretty good now.
Looks like an old 1938 Volvo Sugga! So which one came first?

There was an earlier 4×4 GAZ based on Ford A but heavily modified produced as military staff car during WW2 until it was followed by the Pobeda….
There has been small numbers of “swampcars” too with very large balloon-tires all the time since middle of WW2, I think the first civilian one was Lada/Niva 1922 “Marsha”…
And the Volvo - came after WW2 with 4×4 to carry the heavy radio without filling it with snow….
Fantastic car: thak you.

Nice link. Thanks.
See http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=388 for more realistic pics.
A masterpiece!
Those tires look very much like Irok Radial tires. Even the side lugs are the same. (These are the same tires I have on my truck so I am reasonably familiar with them.)
So while I think this looks pretty cool and all, I am highly dubious since those look very much like American tires.

Have a look at some BRDM-2 or BTR-60 / 70 / 80 (the portal-axled 8×8s) -pics! These are bullet-proof soviet military-tires.
Volvo has also bulit a “suv” starting 1944

Nog effe…
fucking idiots saying “photoshop” all the time just arn`t funny. you`d better just be saying that as a laugh..you don`t need photoshop for strange shit in your photo..you have to not live in the western hemisphere and not be a dumbass momma`s boy shithead. i live in romania.i`m a beliver :))
I have seen this car with my eyes.
It’s from Yalta.
It’s hibryd of GAZ M-20 “Pobeda” and GAZ-66 army track.
where do the horses go?… I imagine they hitched them to the front in the USSR?
that does look like a volvo sugga,and its basically the sameidea,sugga was a 4dr 50s volvo on a short wheelbase volvo army truck frame, thats neat,you dont see a lot of these types of things in the us because something like that isnt a very good daily driver
Fuck you russians!Crazy scums die!
awesome, I want one!
It is GAZ M72
http://www.autogallery.org.ru/gaz72.htm
i love how idiots who see something new on the net yell PHOTOSHOP! FAKE! ….. idiots. also, those idiots who yell, FIRST! hey, it aint like you landed on the moon. this is a cool car/truck
Did the 1933 Suburban has AWD, or was it built for light off-road? I don’t think so. The first SUV was the Mitsubishi PX33.

DUMBASSES. EVERYBODY. A 4×4 pobeda exists, and it has larger wheels and raised suspension. However, the wheels are only slightly higher and bigger. it is called a GAZ M-72. and it could be considered an early SUV. however, this one is either photoshop or the creativity of russian auto experimenters.

看着很有意思的样子~！
Having your car experiencing total power without limitation is something that in old day Russia people would have loved to do.
I just can not believe the first SUV was invented in Russia. I might consider buying one just for the hack of it.
The Prizm is just a rebadged Corolla. But yeah, the rest of the car should be painted orange to justify those wheels.
I like it a lot. Have to get back to you after I check out the links in this discussion. We have a few places in the U.S.A. where these could have found a market. If all the Gearheads in the world could get together, is there anything we couldn’t fix? Best regards.
the car on this pic is convert and it was never manufactured in that form.
I wonder why they do not manufacture these types of cars anymore. I bet there would be a significant demand for them nowadays.
I also wanted to buy one in Russia, but they are very difficult to find. Very few people actually own these anymore.
It is amazing how many good things you can do in photoshop. I wonder if those pictures are real or just enhancements?
I bet the pictures are real and not enhancements. I have seen these cars in Russia. You can still buy those. You just have to know your way around.
Wrong. The first sport utility vehicle was the horse. If you want to talk mechanical then it was the Ford model T. There were no real roads in America yet. New Jersey is still just a dusty road between New York and Philly.
