The GAZ-53 was a familiar workhorse truck, so a toy in its style has a nostalgic, everyday-life feel. The lithographed chassis and the honest wear give it a real industrial look for shelf display or retro decor. It is shown in 12 photos from several angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
