I Have been an avid collector of soviet car and truck emblems and hood ornaments and watch for them often, a few years ago there was two of early GAZ pobeda's for sale on ebay in Texas, I would have bought them myself if they had been closer to my state!! good luck finding your car!

Max, I dont remember any specific mention of where or when the cars were brought here, I cant imagine too many exist here in the states, I have been to Russian many times and have never personally seen a Pobeda, even though I do own some emblems from one, I am always looking for soviet era car emblems, if I here or see anything in my search I will let you know.

Max, this is probably not the car you are looking for but there is a 1955 GAZ M20 Pobeda on ebay for sale, it appears to be in Vermot http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other...0-Soviet-Union take a look.
