GAZ 13

The GAZ-13 Chaika is an automobile which was manufactured by the Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod from 1959 to 1981 as a generation of its Chaika marque. It is famously noted for its styling which resembled 1950s Packard Patrician.
The GAZ-13 Chaika debuted in 1958. It was produced from 1959 to 1981, with 3,179 built in all. The GAZ-13 was powered by a 195-hp SAE gross 5. 5 L V8 with a 4 barrel carburetor called the ZMZ-13 engine, and driven through a push-button automatic transmission of a similar design to the Chrysler PowerFlite unit. The engine was a relatively modern and reliable design for its time, and a modified version with a reduced compression ratio and smaller 2 barrel carburetor was used on the GAZ-53 truck, alongside the BRDM-2 military vehicle. It was offered as a saloon , limousine , and four-door cabriolet with an electrohydraulic top. The cabriolet was made in 1961 and 1962 for official parades....
