Yes common people could not buy Chaika, it was a very elite car in Soviet russia.
This car has been created for regional government and communist leaders. Almost all cars have been painted in black. Some cars have divider behind front seat (GAZ-13A).
The car was really stunning when was moving across the streets of Soviet cities, among the small cars owned by common citizen. The usual colours were black, and because of its colour the car looked realy serious. The car had an automatic transimission, while during that time in USSR cars had only manual transmissions. Yes that’s true Soviet people during 60 years did not have a chance to drive a car with an automatic transmission. Goverment thought that this is a luxury option and deprived the population of it. It’s a pity but due to this fact all the people who had driving license could drive stick geared cars.
After the collapse of Soviet Union these Chaikas began being sold for common people, not new but second hand. They were started being used for VIP events, marriages escorts etc. Nowadays there is a very little cars in a good condition, mainly at collectors possession.

Gregory,
I got your email and attempted twice to send you a response. Please let me know if you don’t get it and I can use another email address. For some reason, hotmail isn’t working too great right now.
Regards,
Patrick
Patrick,
Do you happen to know how many Chaikas are in the United States? I am in NY City (Brighton Beach) and haven’t seen any since I left Ukraine in 1992.
Pavel
Pavel,
I only know of 8 others in the USA: 1 in WA, 1 in OH, 2 in KY, 1 in AZ, 1 in NY, and 1 in NC. The one in NY may have relocated to CA a couple of years ago and the 2 in KY may have moved to TX. There was one for sale at auction in 2003, but I don’t know where it is currently.
Na zdorovye!
Patrick
