| Description |
A Chaika (Russian: Ча́йка), which means gull, is a luxury automobile from the Soviet Union made by GAZ. The vehicle is one step down from the ZIL limousine. Chaika production consisted of two generations. The mark 1 Chaika, the GAZ M13, was produced from 1959 to 1981, and is the more famous and more numerous with more than 3,100 examples built during the 22 year production run. The Chaika GAZ M13 was visually a near-clone of the 1955 Packard Patrician and Mercury, with typical chrome-bedecked 1950s styling. The M13 was powered by a 195 horsepower (145 kW) 5.5L V8 and driven through a push-button automatic transmission of a similar design to the Chrysler TorqueFlite unit. As a limousine-class car, Chaikas were available only to the Soviet government, and could not be purchased by the average citizens. However, citizens were allowed to rent Chaikas for weddings. Chaikas were one step down from the more prestigious ZIL limousines, and were issued to top professionals, party officials, scientists, academics, and other VIPs. For their larger size and more powerful V8, Chaikas were also ordered in some quantity by the KGB. Nikita Khrushchev, although entitled to a ZIL, was known to prefer Chaikas, and kept an M13 at his summer dacha. Top speed was 99 mph (158 km/h). Der Tschaika (russisch: Чайка für Möwe) ist eine Luxuslimousine des Herstellers Gorkowski Awtomobilny Sawod (deutsch: Gorkier Automobilwerk), die von 1959 bis 1988 in zwei Modellen und verschiedenen Varianten in der UdSSR gebaut wurde. Vorgänger war der GAZ-12 ZIM. Das erste Modell, der GAZ-13, wurde 1959 eingeführt. Er orientierte sich von der Gestaltung stark am amerikanischen Packard Patrician des Modelljahrgangs 1955. Der Tschaika war ein reiner Funktionärswagen, der nur für hohe Funktionsträger der Sowjetunion und der verbündeten Staaten geliefert wurde. In der Sowjetunion gab es für den Tschaika einen offiziellen Neupreis. Privatpersonen in der DDR war lediglich der Erwerb ausrangierter Gebrauchtwagen möglich. Dem Vernehmen nach sollen ausgemusterte Tschaikas besonders kinderreichen Familien zugeteilt worden sein. |
