In the late 1920s, the Soviet Union’s leadership decided to acquire a modern automobile factory abroad, along with licenses to produce trucks and passenger cars. In May 1929, a contract was signed between a Soviet government commission and the Ford Motor Company to license the production of Ford A passenger cars and Ford AA trucks. By February 1930, assembly of Ford A vehicles had begun at an automotive plant in Moscow using kits imported from the United States. Three years later, a new factory was launched in Nizhny Novgorod, where these vehicles were produced under license. Despite being poorly suited to local environmental conditions — the chosen model was the Ford A Standard Phaeton with a soft top — the vehicle was produced on a large scale for six years and became quite widespread. Some were used by units of the Red Army, and later, during World War II, several of them were captured and put into service by the Wehrmacht.
