Was a 1962 Caddy Fleetwood disguised as a(fake)1957 GAZ Tchaika(so was the writing in Cyrillics on bonnet edge,means seagull in Russian idiom)M-13;the director had done a bit of confusion,'cause the sole Russian-made car of the period that could be lookalike at contemporary Caddies was the 1963 ZIL 111-G(but its production was started 2 years after set up Berlin wall,and willbe an anachronism),while that 1962 Caddy used for the movie no recalls in none way the car that it "wannabe"(Tchaika M-13 lookalikes more '50S Packards,therefore was better to use a Packard and disguise it as a Tchaika)...Another blooper unmasked!

And why not use a real Chaika? You might expect to see old American cars passed off as old Soviet limousines in films made before 1990, but these days there's no excuse. :)

Evidently,they don't succeed to find a true Tchaika for filming them

This is definately not a 1962 Cadillac, it's a 1963! Panoramic windscreen indicates series 75.

junkman was right:I've verified on a specific book of 1940-1965 US-cars and,yes,is 1963 M.Y.,not 1962(I had said 1962,'cause have confused it with the 1962 model,like that used by my sister for its wedding day--that had a single line grille,not the double-decked grille of 1963 model)

It's definitely not a "Series 75" as shown in the title blurb. The "75" has a smaller rear window area. So, in the absence of a side view, it's just a "1963 Cadillac".

To clear up the mess: It was a 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special, painted in black with a black vinyl roof and black leather throughout. As I was working in the company that loaned the car for production, I drove this very car quite often. It was disguised to play the role of a Chaika, indeed. The reason of using a Cadillac instead of a real Chaika is the following: In another scene of that movie you see the "Chaika" being torn apart by an explosion. Don´t worry, they didn´t do what you´re expecting...

To unmask another blooper: The exploded car wasn´t a Chaika, as well as it wasn´t the 1963 Fleetwood Sixty Special shown here. Instead they showed a wrecked 1961 or 1962 (don´t recall the correct model year right now) Cadillac Sedan Series 62, which had been resting on a junk yard for years. For it seemed rather impossible finding a defunct Chaika to tear apart, they decided to use the Cadillacs instead. All that info is assured, for I know both cars "in person" as well as the 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz used in the same movie.

I always forgot to provide the additional pictures. But here they are:

This is the car that was used for the movie, playing the Chaika (note the strange aftermarket mirror on the right fender). I took this picture about 5 years ago when it joined our fleet.

This is the 1961 or 1962 Sedan they blew up instead of the "Chaika"-Fleetwood - and it really was a rustbucket from hell! :lol:
