In Bishkek, they took the Victory Parade on unique Phaetons ZIL from the 1960s

In Kyrgyzstan, they shared photographs from the event and it turned out that both the Minister of Defense of the country and his first deputy moved to the low-trip ZIL-111V. This phaeton appeared in 1960 and was used for ceremonies. For example, in April 1961, it was ZIL-111V who met the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in Moscow. The circulation of ZIL-111V is 12 pieces.

The parade is ready

The Victory Parade in Bishkek was held on Ala-Too Square on the eve of May 8. The event was held in advance so that on May 9, the president of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov could take part in the Victory Parade in Moscow. The neighbors involved 3,000 troops, more than 120 units of army and special equipment in the solemn ceremony. Judging by the photographs, the Ministry of Defense of Kyrgyzstan retained ZIL-111V in authentic form.

The car was issued manually by order of the gas gas for less than three years. The prototype for the Soviet Phaeton was Packard Caribbean, however, there is no question of copying: the body type has changed, the interior is crossed, and the rate was made on domestic units. Under the hood of 5.98-liter V8 with a capacity of 200 horsepower, the thrust is transferred to the rear axle through a 2-speed automatic. An unusual detail is a hydraulic drive of a soft top.

Carpetable treasures of the bus park

The fleet of state structures of Kyrgyzstan by Russian standards is full of rarities: for example, the city hall of Bishkek only this year launched the Soviet Raf, IZH, GAZ and PAZ from the hammer. Cars of the 1980-1990s lasted more than 35 years, and in provincial areas are still being operated.
