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. 🚗😁

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.

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

what a gorgeous car

This is a beautiful automobile

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

Very nice! Thanks.

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.

It was good car

That is pure class.

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

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.

Soviet copy of Packard Patrician still class though

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

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.

@@annasolovyeva1013 so what you're saying is you're sensitive.

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.

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

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.

Nope

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.
