8. 1962 Volga GAZ-21
Why would anyone want an old Soviet Union K.G.B staff car that is one of the worst put-together cars on the planet? It must have caught Leno’s attention because it’s so weird that no one else wants one. He’s probably the only car collector with one in their collection anywhere in the world. It is strange.
It’s called a Volga GAZ-21 and they were mass produced starting in 1956 through 1970. Take a look at the standard features list. It came with reclining front seats, a lighter, a heater, 3-wave radio, and a windshield washer. It also came with extensive rust proofing likely to protect it from all that salt the Russians use in the winter in Moscow. It was powered by a 4-cylinder engine which was essentially a tractor-like engine. Why wouldn’t everyone want one of these?
