Welcome to "Volga in America"!
"Волга в Америке", добро пожаловать! 
Brooklyn, New York



IMPORTANT UPDATE:  In October, 2012  Hurricane "Sandy"  almost destroyed our neighbourhood.  We are sad to report that among other losses  our beloved Volga sustained damage from the flood.......
  It will be sold at the insurance auction and  we have some  russian car enthusiasts monitoring that  sale. Hopefully  they will be  able to purchase the car and restore it back to it's former glory .that is the plan). We will be helping them  the best we can in that process. We will be posting  the updates  on this website.
So the Volga shall live on...!

 
On the  brighter note , we are very happy to announce that  we acquired another Volga ---an early 1957  GAZ-M21V first series, a.k.a  "Zvezda" , or("the Star"). It is in the final stages of  4-year professional  ground-up restoration in Russia   and should arrive to America some time  this spring.  That  extra rare and unique automobile deserves a  separate website which  we are working on.
Please visit the  new website

Важная информация: в октябре 2012 года ураган "Сэнди"  нанес огромный ущерб  нашему городу, особенно району, где мы живем.  К огромному сожалению, от наводнения пострадала и наша любимая Волга .  Теперь она будет продана со страхового аукциона. Несколько любителей русских машин следят за этим аукционом в надежде приобрести ее для последующей реставрации.  Мы будем оказывать им в этом посильную помощь, чтобы Волга продолжала жить!  Информацию мы будем публиковать на этом веб-сайте.

Но есть и хорошие новости. Мы рады сообщить, что приобрели новую Волгу - ГАЗ  М21В начала 1957 года, первая серия "Звезда". Она находится в завершающей стадии четырехлетней профессиональной реставрации в России и должна прибыть в Америку весной этого года. Такой редкий и уникальный автомобиль заслуживает отдельного веб-сайта, над которым мы сейчас работаем. Посетите нас на
