Grok, make a Ford Falcon, but better.
The stylings are very typical 60s in my opinion and they originally wanted to export it to the US, but that plan failed.
There were some pictures online floating about of the original sketches and prototype designs that were more akin to a Chrysler 300 with big fins and everything.
I'm not sure how much of the GAZ-24 really is a copy as a lot of shit got carried over from the older GAZ-21.
There was supposed to be a 3 litre V6 model specifically for export with US customers in mind, maybe even the 5.5 litre V8 going for export, but again the US export thing never materialised.
Personally I really like the car, it's a very solid machine, it's built surprisingly sturdy and it looks good.
Shame that aside for the super rare 5.5 litre V8 model and some swapped ones done by Scaldia, they only came with a 2.4 litre 4 banger either pushing out about 90hp or 70 in the low compression version.
It's dogshit slow even if the engine has a very nice torque curve and a surprising amount of low end torque.
