Based on a Model A Ford and judging by the front 19" wheels it has to have been made after 1930/31, but as it has 21" rear wheels it may be based on an earlier 1928/29 Ford.
Was it made in USA?

It's not from the USA, not based on any Ford.

How about GAZ which is a Model A Ford made in USSR? I find it very hard to believe the wheels and the front axle are not Ford.

It is the GAZ-A-Tsvetkov,  based on a GAZ-A and built in 1936 by G.A. Tsvetkov, deputy director of the Leningrad post office garage. The streamlined body was made of steel sheet mounted on a wood frame with a production GAZ-A  inline 4 cylinder, 3285 cc., 40 hp engine.
The car set a few national speed records.
The puzzle picture shows driver A. Rymko at the wheel  and Tsvetkov standing next to the car.

Correct! It is said to be the first racing car built in Leningrad (now St Petersburg).
