It wasn't four full years that the model "I" shined on the main assembly line of GAZ. The minute of the firework of  the 21 was in its full glare. Stare at the curvatures of the hood, grille, trunk, roof - your eyes would not be annoyed by dull perfection of Toyota Barbie or offended by quadrature of circle realized in Ford Pitbull. The model passed to stay  The Only One for years to come.

I wish I knew the name of the One who dared to bring back the steel grille with generous slots and a hint of a bend toward the hood, the headlights of calm dignity, the bumper that is, the tusks there are. Glance at the hood just to see it is neither round nor square. Sweep the palm along the edge of the flare or fender - what have you. He got it all right - That Only One - back again - circa 2000.
