Executive soviet car:
GAZ-13 "Chaika" is a Soviet executive passenger car of a large and executive class, produced in a small series at the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1959 to 1981. He replaced the ZIM generation model GAZ-12. Starting with this model, this (large) class of cars becomes privileged: their mass production stops and they are not allowed to be used by anyone except for certain level leaders, Soviet ambassadors (diplomats) and foreign citizens. In this regard, the palette of possible body colors is also limited. In 1977, the next generation model, the Chaika GAZ-14, came to replace it. Soviet car Chaika.
We are looking for old cars, rare soviet cars, unusual car, abandoned car and rare retro cars, we do reviews, tell tricks and technical characteristics. In general, we are creating the largest archive of videos about the Soviet automobile industry, the history of USSR cars, and the history of the Soviet Union in general.

I grew up in St.Louis Missouri,USA. I was with 2 of my friends, and we were walking to a shopping center. There was a car, one friend said it was a Lincoln, and my other friend, a Cadillac. Even as a teenager, I was pretty good a cars. I told them they were both wrong. It was a Russian car. I told them , and they said I was nuts. Although I called it a ZIL, I was right in that it was Russian. The writing was definitely Russian, it was a Chaika‼️ Exactly what this car was doing in St.Louis County, Missouri, USA, remains a mystery. But , there it was . And a beautiful car, too. 🚗😁

[@skeetrix5577]

hello fellow st Louisian chesterfield here :) where did you see the car at??!! Im definitely going to keep my eyes open for it

[@Varinki]

Years ago I saw some pictures of a GAZ 13 at a car dealer in New York. So there is at least one in the USA.

[@_b_x_b_1063]

​@@Varinkiуеs, in USA used Cabrio GAZ-13 and ZiL-41045

[@CheeseScout]

It would be more reasonable if your friends thought it was a Packard

[@u.e.u.e.]

Maybe used by the Soviet ambassy?

[@glenmiller272]

Beautiful car, looks similar to a mid '50s Packard.

[@carsmasher]

Yeah, looks like a 55 Packard

[@kmaliki]

Because they copied from Packard Carribean

[@carsmasher]

@@kmaliki They do say that imitation is the best form of flattery. During WWII the Soviets asked for the dies of the 41 Packard which they copied as well.

[@rarerussianrides]

At that time, most of the USSR cars were copied from American or European cars.

I have no idea how or when did I find out about this car's existence, all I know is that I'm obsessed with it 😂

[@rarerussianrides]

What is your other obsession? 💭

[@user-bv8wr3vw4x]

3:21 It's 18.4 feet long, 6ft7 wide and the wheelbase is 10.7 feet.

Looks like a cross between Rambler and Checker with a hint of Packard!

Nice video. You deserve more subscribers!

[@johnpotter8039]

One of the funniest pieces of automotive writing was in Car and Driver around 1985, Bruce McCall's "Socialist Luxobarge Summit Showdown Compare" where he tested the ZIL and the Chinese Hong Chi/ "Red Flag" limousines. It is worth looking it up. McCall describes the cars in great detail, including "suicide doors", presumably "for carrying out harsh sentences en route". Read it, and you will never laugh as hard again.

[@seandoole6504]

The Chaika looks like a Checker Marathon and a Packard Patrician had a baby. Can't say I dislike the marriage; the Chaika is a car I'd love to own but never will. At least I have the Marathon, an icon in of itself.

[@DavidLee-rx6uo]

This is a beautiful automobile

[@adityasanthanam1945]

That is pure class.

Marxism is in no ways class. Communist officials had them while the people walked! Sick

[@user-cv5gl6kh3k]

Soviet copy of Packard Patrician still class though

[@KPV2309]

IVAN ZENKEVICH!

[@johnpotter8039]

Of course, the car is modeled on the 1956 Packard. No problem with that- Packard made fantastic cars.

[@rarerussianrides]

It's a legend

[@Lincolntowncoupe]

It should be illegal to drive this car without being wearing a big furry hat

[@annasolovyeva1013]

Why? Even Russians back then didn't use them year round. What would be used is a military dress uniform like cap. Russians wear warm clothing (boots, warm hats, coats) for utility. Those items are pretty expensive, so you have one or two of each only. By the time it's warm you are bored of wearing the same thing and would never wear it for fashion. Especially considering that our warm clothes is really warm. So, Russians would object to the idea of summer (fur generally, warm hats, coats, tall boots) and find wearing it for fashion hilarious.

i love how communism had a weird way to make everything equal but some people are more "equal" that others the normal citizen was only forced to drive trabants or Ladas.

I want this car even if it is out of my price range 😢

[@eddieschwab864]

With an X frame reminiscent of 58 through 64 Chevrolet, does it have body connections not just at the front and rear end but also presumably along the driveshaft tunnel? Certainly very fascinating and I know the title says Russian Packard definitely reminiscent of a Packard Patrician from 55 through 56 or a Plymouth Belvedere from 57 or 58, especially that Vibe between the grille and the tail fins. Also wondered since it always seemed like they don't do anything that's not practical in their designs where you were hurting to the bullets in the bumper is the car horn located inside there? Certainly would make sense if it was.

[@jeffking4176]

Pure PACKARD❗️ But a great looking car. 🚗🙂

Not copied from "American Cars" plural...copied from one American Car...PACKARD! Right down to the push button drive.

[@_b_x_b_1063]

Nope

[@HarborLockRoad]

We were always told that when Studebaker and Packard merged, and the decision was made to discontinue the Packard bodies, and base all future Packard cars from Studebaker bodies, that, in order to gain badly needed cash, all the Packard tooling and machinery were sold off, as no longer needed, to the Soviet union. Maybe its not true, but, it sure looks like its true. Thats a near exact copy of the last true packard body. While on that subject, the gaz 24 sure echoes the last Studebaker body by brooks stevens. Studebaker, on its deathbed went looking for a car to rebadge for 1967. They negotiated with toyota and datsun, but the deal fell through, and nothing came of it. The gaz 24 would have been a good choice to rebadge as a Studebaker, and help international relations at the time. It would have been even less difficult considering that Studebaker was only operating in canada by then, whose import/ export laws differed from the states.
