GAZ-14 "Chaika" (Газ-14 "Чайка")
Work on the draft of a new car for a large class of GAZ automobile plant began in 1967 year.
In 1968, there was already a full-scale model of the future of "The
Seagull" second generation, the exterior of which is clearly dated back
to some generalized image of upscale American car of the year. The
project was approved layout Commission in 1969, and then began making
prototypes.
Unfortunately, for a number of reasons for the path to the production of the new model was a very long one.

In 1975, pre-production sample has been tested
in a variety of road conditions, including the extreme, on the roads of the
Crimea and the Caucasus, and the next, in 1976, after the elimination of
deficiencies identified by the same route already passed state acceptance
trials, which resulted in the car was finally recommended for production.

Small-scale production of "The
Seagull" lasted for 11 years, until 1988. Since 1985, the car received a
code 1402 and several novshevstv.
In 1988, under the so-called "war on
privileges", the car was withdrawn from the market on the personal
instructions of Mikhail Gorbachev, and at the same time has been destroyed all
tooling, documentation, assembly lines, body stamps
During the period from 1976 to 1989 were
collected 1120 GAZ-14 of all modifications. Last car was assembled December 24,
1988 and left the factory in January 1989.
In the mid nineties guide Automobile Plant GAZ
hatched a plan to resume production of "The Seagull." It appears,
however, that almost no documentation or production equipment at the plant did
not survive, and the development of a car of this class "from
scratch" was beyond the power plant and economically feasible.
In 2008, the car was given the status of an
object of cultural and technical heritage of the USSR.
