A unique deluxe edition in 2 volumes tells about the legendary car "The Seagull" - the brightest star in the history of the Gorky Automobile Plant. Published in Barnaul by collectors-enthusiasts of the automobile club "Flight of the Chaika", the book immediately became a bibliographic rarity and a dream of a true connoisseur.
The author of the book, Vadim Chelak, hopes that the book will become a reference book for owners, lovers and connoisseurs of the GAZ-13 and GAZ-14 Chaika cars, as well as answer many questions of historians, modelers and restorers; will focus on real, not fictional events that preceded and accompanied the process of creating a machine; will change the stereotype of perception, and form a holistic and more complete image of the famous car, which left a bright mark in the domestic automotive industry. The beautifully illustrated edition features historical photographs of the vehicle, prototypes, mock-ups, factory brochures, sketches and documents. Some of them are unique and published for the first time. The memoirs of the veterans of the plant who participated in the process of creating the car are given, the characteristic features of the design of the prototype and the first experimental samples are analyzed in detail. On the pages of the album you can see colorful drawings of cars of the Gorky Automobile Plant, imported samples that were tested and operated in the USSR. One of the chapters of the book draws a parallel between foreign "classmates" and the GAZ-13 car. The material is presented in an impartial manner and allows the reader to make his own conclusion about whether the appearance of the "Seagull" is copied or is still inspired by the fashionable style of the era. From other chapters, you can learn rare information about the design and technical characteristics, as well as learn how the car and its individual components were tested, which imported units were used during creation and testing. The book also contains unique newsreel footage, which depicts many facts hitherto unknown to the general public. Artists: Alexander Zakharov, Andrey Atyukin, Andrey Tkachenko.
