Photo Gallery «Chaika 1958-1989 - State limousines and pride of the East»

There were around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. One of these vanished brands is Chaika, which existed from 1958 to 1989. Its core business was the construction of state limousines for the second most important nomenclature of the Soviet leadership, or vehicles such as the GAZ 13 and later the GAZ 14. In 1980, the output was 500 Chaikas and ZILs, in 1987 still 250 vehicles combined. The last Chaika was built in 1989.
