Книга Ивана Падерина "ГАЗ 1932-1982 Русские машины" выпущена в честь 80-летия Горьковского Автомобильного Завода.

В издании впервые собраны практически все модели ГАЗ, разработанные и производимые заводом, его филиалами и подрядчиками на базе автомобилей ГАЗ с 1932 по 1982 год – как серийные, так и экспериментальные, в том числе нереализованные в металле, а также гусеничные боевые и транспортные машины, бронеавтомобили, катера, аэросани, самолёты и велосипеды, а также некоторые конструкции, созданные энтузиастами на основе горьковских машин. Всего более 450 моделей.

Опубликовано около 1000 исторических фотографий, 800 из которых никогда и нигде ранее не публиковались. Таким образом книгу с одной стороны можно считать энциклопедией, а с другой стороны фотоальбомом с уникальными фотографиями, ярко открывающими весь путь Горьковского автозавода за первые 50 лет. Особенно нужно отметить документальную достоверность и точность всей информации, опубликованной в этом издании.
