The question has been in my mind for a long time. The answers are various but not true. Some links of two colored M20-s:

There were quite a few Pobedas colured in two different colours in GAZ factory. I.e. - the original plant-made two-colored Pobeda is quite rare. For the 2nd generation Pobedas (between 1948 and 1955, dense molding) mainly the taxi-cars were two-coloured (with additional taxi-originated symbols). Maybe the taxis were the only two-colored ones produced in Gorkiy plant before 1955. You can see the authentic historical pictures of two-coloured taxis from http://gaz20.spb.ru/modif_taxi.htm . In the Pobeda-booklet issued a year ago in Moscow is the similar picture showing the polishing process of such two-coloured taxi-Pobeda in GAZ plant somewhen before 1955.

For the 3rd generation Pobedas (between 1955 and 1958, rare molding) there in my mind appearded the \"ordinary\" two-colored ones. But its\' total number were although very small in comparison with the Pobeda\'s total production. In my mind, the colouring scheme for the 3rd generation cars remained the same as it was for the 2nd generation taxi-Pobedas (only without the taxi symbols). I have seen some historical photos (from late-1950\'s) supporting this conjecture.

Nowadays, there are a lot of two-colored 3rd generation Pobedas colored by the different scheme (eg. links in quotation and additionally http://tengoretro.sampo.ru/) but they are all two-colored during the restoration process and were originally ordinary single-colored cars. Therefore, I suppose that in GAZ factory there was used only one two-colouring scheme. Up to this time I havn\'t seen the historical photos showing different schemes.
