The record

Ordered in February 1941 after photographs of the Bantam BRC, the GAZ-64 was designed by Vitaly Grachev in under two months and built from August 1941; its narrow track suited the BA-64 armoured car more than the road, and the wider GAZ-67 replaced it in 1943 after 672 vehicles.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
