End of the road for Soviet elite's must-have car. Sleek, low-slung and preferably black, it was once an object of desire for every Soviet bureaucrat. Now, more than half a century after it was first produced, Russia is stopping production of the legendary Volga saloon. The first Volga, launched in 1956, was based on the Ford Crestline.
