In the USSR, huge funds were highlighted for projects that would demonstrate the world's greatness of the country over the fascists. It was the Soviet people who first launched a person into space, such a flight in those years seemed something that was not conceivable, Yuri Gagarin became a hero in the eyes of every Soviet boys, and the trump card in the Soviet Government sleeve. The Great Flight was performed on April 12, 1961, and already on April 14th, the cosmonaut was delivered from the Aeroport to the Kremlin, ZIL 111 was chosen to deliver such an important passenger - the most prestigious Soviet car for those years, 
The car is about which will be discussed at this time. ZIL 111 was produced from 1959 to 1967, it is worth noting that one of the 112-ati cars produced was donated by Fidel Castro, I suppose you guess what merit Cuban leader has received such attention from the USSR leadership. Before creating a governmental A, the Soviet designers studied the best American analogs of those years, so the confirmation that ZIL 111 is similar to Cadillac, or on Packard, not so unfounded. 
In addition to the sedan, the government 111 was produced as a Faeton. Both bodies were frame and impressive with their dimensions. So, at a wheelbase of the sedan in 3,760mm, the length is 6 140 mm, the width is 2 040mm, the height is 1 640mm. Ground clearance At 210mm does not seem to be too big with such a significant wheelbase, but also not to call it small. In 1962, the production of modification ZIL 111G began, this version Easy to find out on the four round Farm - pay attention to the photo. 
Already in 1959, the Government Zil was equipped with air conditioning, not to mention the hydraulic steering amplifier, which reduces the effort on the steering wheel four times. Power windows also indicated the high status of this Soviet car.
Specifications ZIL 111
Verneklapanny V8 with a volume of 5,969l, develops power in 220 horse power. The huge engine allows you to overclock the Soviet Mahine to 100km per 23c, and on the highway to reach a mark in 170km. On 100 km of the mileage, this engine requires 29l gasoline - very not enough, especially according to modern standards. However, thanks to a capacity of 120 l, the distance of this limousine is quite large. It is noteworthy that this Soviet car is not equipped with one, but two AMI, the container of each of which is 68A / h. Front suspension in 111th spring, rear - spring.
How much is ZIL 111 today? And how many such cars have been survived until today's days? - both questions are very complex. Meet the 111th model is even more difficult than replacing it. Both of these limousine are almost piece goods and their price at auction will not be lower than the most masterpiece, collectible import cars.
ZIL-111 - Soviet passenger car, which was used by the highest leadership of the country and important persons. Collected in several body variants, was used on numerous parades. Located with a small number of copies, which gives the car uniqueness.
History of creation ZIL-111
Until the middle of the last century, the Soviet leadership for movement used ZIS-110. By the end of the 50s, the car morally and technically outdated, so it was required to replace it. The country was needed new transportsupporting the image of a large world stage of state.
In 1948, the modification of the 110th model was designed, which received the index "M". She kept the former chassis, but received a restyled body with modern outlines inherent in the "victory" of 1948. The car was a prototype. The specialists among themselves called its ZIS-111, but in official documents such a name was not indicated.
In the mid 50s of the last century, designer Valentin Rostkov developed new project state car. On it collected new sample With a new chassis. The development of the new chassis was engaged in the team under the leadership of A.N. Ostone, who also led the ZIS-110 project. New model Received the name ZIS-111 "Moscow". Unofficial sources argued that the first sedan copies received the chassis from the 110th model.
The main difference from the old generation is modern design Body. He combined the best traits of premium cars from American cadillac manufacturers, Packard and Buick. The appearance turned out to be banal, there was nothing unique in it. Until 1956 collected 2-3 copies. They were shown in many domestic exhibitions, but they did not call interest in consumers. In 1955, American analogs switched to the new design direction, so new car infused them in beauty.
To solve the problem, the company launched a competition for the design of the machine design. From different parts of the Union received many interesting options. The final choice was made of two offers - Rostkova and Lion Eremeev (he worked at the enterprise GAZ, developed a "Volga" GAZ-21 and WIN-13, which later became known as "seagull). The choice was made in favor of the idea of \u200b\u200bLeo Eremeev, having prepared a layout of plasticine in 1956. Valentin Rostkov did not accept loss, so in the same year he left his place of work.
History of production ZIL-111
The first work specimen was collected in 1961. Distinctive features Facing the radiator, new bumpers dual headlights. The rest of the design solutions strongly resembled the initial option.
For the year, the appearance changed even stronger: rear lights They got a round shape, the windshield received a new design, frame and moldings were replaced with new, increased the power of the motor. If you evaluate the full picture, it becomes clear that the main design solutions are taken from the Cadillac of the 61st year of release. The release of small parties continued from 1962 to 1966.
On the basis of "G" collected several modifications. The first was the model with the index "B", which received the opening body. The name of the second received the addition of "D". The car was a parade phaeton. The first open ZIL-111 was collected at the beginning of 1963, when the standard version was restyled.
At the end of April 1963, Fidel Castro, as part of a visit to the USSR, visited the Likhachev plant. He was made official gift - new open car premium class. Castro went home by plane, and his new transport to Cuba was delivered by a steamer in the hands of the USSR ambassador in this country. He personally handed over the transportation of Fidel Castro already on the island.
In the subsequent period, several more instances were collected. Four of them planned to apply in state celebrations and parades. According to the factory, there are 8 cars with the index "D". On November 7, 1967, the debut of cars on Red Square took place. They took part in the parade to the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. Until this time, the first variants of the 111st model took part in the parades, the state of which did not cause complaints. On the same year, the Likhachev plant released the first batch of the 114th model, which was distinguished by the strict design and high-quality interior trim.
Faetons 111D were used on military parades until the mid-70s. For the army, they were painted in gray-green color. They were replaced by modern ZIL-117V convertibles on that period. Until the end of the 80s, the recorded cars were carefully kept in the garage of the Ministry of Defense. In 1987, they were officially transferred to the Office of the Fire Protection of the Moscow Region, where they are in our days.
ZIL-111D lists three more copies whose body painted into black. One car went as a gift in the GDR, two other people were kept at the enterprise itself. Their further fate is unknown. The main "know-how" of domestic products was the automatic opening of the roof. People of the period in the design were remembered by antennas on the rear wings. They played a functional and decorative role. A total of 112 cars of all modifications.
Specifications and device ZIL-111
Initially, engineers were planned to take the chassis of American products as the basis of the chassis, and to put the body with an updated design. It was impossible to realize the idea due to engine size, so I had to make your changes. The long power plant of the old generation was replaced by V-shaped to reduce the load on the front wheels.
Specifications:
- Length - 6 140 millimeters;
- Width - 2,040 millimeters;
- Height - 1,640 millimeters;
- Clearance - 180 millimeters;
- Volume power plant - 6 liters;
- Power power aggregate - 200 horsepower;
- Box - automatic;
- Drive - rear;
- Maximum speed - 170 km / h;
- Volume fuel tank - 120 liters.
Motor
The new engine ZIL-111 became shorter than one and a half meters due to the two-row arrangement of eight cylinders. The mass was reduced due to the use of aluminum in the production of pistons and reducing the number of sheks crankshaft From 8 to 4 (this was achieved thanks to the room of two rods per cervical). The volume of one cylinder is 5,969 liters. With 4,200 revolutions per minute, the power of 200 horsepower is achieved, which is 60 more than the 110th model.
Power increased due to an increase in compression and improving the filling of cylinders with combustible (outlet pipes rooted, and the cylinder heads were equipped with upper valves). The use of the new generation K-85 carburetor has played not the last role in improving the capacity. It consisted of four cameras. They started working at each other depending on the speed of transport. Such a structural solution reduced fuel consumption when driving in the city and increased the maximum speed to 170 km / h.
A feature of the car ZIL-111 was the automatic transmission. She was called new, but before that it was equipped with a small series of the 21st Volga. After that, it was also used on the seagull.
Gabarits.
Designers when creating a car tried to reduce the height, but leave the clearance for the same. Also, an important detail was the premises of the passengers inside the wheelbase. The decrease in the height has improved the resistance on the road and aerodynamics at high speeds. Rear sofa increased in size.
Hydrauscitel
In the design of ZIL-111, GUR was added. It became a novelty for domestic passenger transport. He simplified the rotation of the steering wheel four times. It became easier to control the machine with such a supplement. Also, the GUR added comfort - when driving on the bodies, shocks were not felt in the steering wheel.
The device of the hydraulic cylinder includes a power cylinder, a control spool and an oil pump that connected with the steering mechanism. Oil pump The paddle type of double action was installed in the front of the motor. For his work answered the belt transfer from the pulley of the crankshaft.
Brake system
Consisted of two systems - foot and manual. Thanks to him, the driver could carry out a braking with minimal brakes even on high speed. A foot mechanism has an impact on all wheels. He was complemented hydraulic drive With an amplifier, which reduced the effort required from the driver when pressed on the brake pedal. For work rear shoes One cylinder answered, for the work of the front - two cylinders.
Comparison Gas 13 Seagull and ZIL-111
One of the main differences is molding. In the seagull, it has a vivid expression designated by a selected relief. Molding design of the 111st model is easier, but gives transport the character of rapidness. Front it looks more emotional. Seagull length - 5.5 meters, and ZIL-111 - a little more than 6 meters.
The keen "111" gave fangs on the bumpers. Fog lights received a rectangular shape. In decorative purposes, the emblem and the radiator grille was covered with gilding. Seagull against the background of this car looked more gentle and calmer. The rear lights of both cars are made in the fin style, but seagulls they have a more modern look.
The volume of the seagull's power unit is less on the floor of the liter, the power is inferior to 5 horsepower. Aluminum parts in the engine are greater, so weight is less. Mass of gearbox less, despite the larger number of speeds. Due to the smaller weight, the seagull accelerates to 100 km / h in 20 seconds, and ZIL-111 in 23 seconds. Fuel consumption at the first - 23 liters per 100 kilometers, in the second - 30 liters.
The seagull's interior is based on Packard design solutions. Dashboard "111" is also borrowed from American colleagues and is not inferior in quality. In the trim of the salon of both machines, high-quality and expensive materials were used, which served the owners for many years with proper care. The first seagull in the history of the Russian automotive industry has received electrical windows.
The popularity of the seagulls in Russia is higher than that of ZIL-111. She had a simplified design, did not require careful care and expensive service. The advantage is due to the production period and the number of instances released.
What can be concluded?
ZIL-111 - USSR premium car. He was remembered by many people in the socialist period, was used by the leading leadership of the country. Many people dreamed of such a car, but she was beyond reality due to the petrolery issue and a clear destination with certain state structures. Some copies are preserved to this day, they are stored in private collections and cost huge money. People try to find cars in poor condition to renovate them and lead to the original state.
If you have any questions - leave them in the comments under the article. We or our visitors will gladly respond to them
The year of the birth of small-sector ZIL-111G can be considered 1961. This year the first copy with the prefix "G" was collected.
Distinctive features of upgraded passenger cars He became his exterior. First of all, the radiator grille, then the bumper and the front headlights that combined two lighting instruments.
The period of time when "111g" was small in 1962-1966. When compared from 111, you can see that the "novice" has a slightly changed form of windshield. Moldings appeared from the sides, and behind round lanterns. The most important thing was that he had a motor with greater power. The front part of the car resembled the same part of the Cadillac of the sample of 1961.
ZIL-111G was the base for creating open phaetics. Such parade machines were marked somewhat differently - ZIL-111D. There were parade cars with the prefix "D" literally after six months from the date of manufacture 111g.
You should not forget that there were also zila one hundred eleventh listers "B". These are also open phaetons, but on the basis of just ZIL-111, that is, an older sample.
History of the plant them. Likhacheva keeps the memory of visiting 04.04.1963 manufacturing workshops Such a great man like Fidel Castro.
Head Soviet UnionAnd then they were Nikita Khrushchev, made a wide gesture: he presented a representative of the island of freedom one of the cars with an open top.
F. Castro returned to his homeland by air, and his gift had long traveled to Havana by the Sea.
In Cuba, the solemn transfer of the car Premier Minister of the Island State took place. The event was led by the Ambassador of the USSR Tov. Alekseev. He personally handed the car Fidel.
The Museum of AMO stores information that the number of parade phaetons of the ZIL-111D brand is only 8 pcs. Four eight cars were intended solely to participate in festive events: May 1 and November 7.
The first time on the Red Square Phaeton left 07.11.1967, when the victory in the revolution of 1917 was 50 years old.
To this significant date, Soviet leaders used ZIL-111B. Despite the fact that the "old" car was still in excellent condition, he was replaced by a new one, apparently solely in honor of the holiday and the desire to advertise the achievements of the automaker.
Another zul with numbering "114" was prepared for the anniversary date. The small Party "114" was completely ready. But this is a strict government car in the demonstration did not participate.
As for the Phaeton ZIL-111D, then three of them were strict black. One sent to a friendly GDR and his further fate is unknown. And two for a long time expected their fate in the walls of the plant. The cars of this blue color "Life" was more interesting. They invariably appeared on parades over the years.
If necessary, the auto rooted the soft roof. For this, ZIL was equipped with an electro-hydraulic lifting device. To raise the top it was enough to click on the dashboard button. Each of the front-end instances had an antenna. There was such an antenna on the rear wing. Its appointment was more decorative than functional. The presence of such an attribute was added solidity.
In the middle of the seventies, another shift appeared - ZIL-117V. He represented a short-walled cabriolet.
The total number of 111s with all the letter consoles published from the Likhachev plant is 112 pcs. Where they are no longer known. But I really want to believe that the witnesses of the Socialism era have been preserved and our descendants will still be able to see how domestic designers managed to take all the best from three "Americans" and "blind" from this their reliable car.

The ZIL-111 car was considered a representative car during the USSR top class. His prototypes were exhibited in Moscow at the exhibition national economy Back in 1956, he was also called Moscow and was the ZIS-110 chassis with a fully new body.
Distinctive features of this prototype - bent (not panoramic) windshield, rear loops rear doors, very massive fangs buffers. According to the dimensions, the database and a kee, he remained the same as the former ZIS-110. However, its equipped mass was more - 2575 kg.
Then, a group of specialists ZIL, under the leadership of A. N. Ossetov, created completely new car ZIL-111: with the body, externally difficult to distinguishable with "Caribbene", with a new V-shaped eight-cylinder engine, a hydromechanical transmission. This car on fundamental technical solutions was identical to GAZ-13. The scale of its release was 10-12 cars per year, while the "seagull" did 150 copies per year, and the first serial ZIL-111 manufactured in November 1958
Specifications ZIL-111
Technical Features ZIL-111: Underwater transformer with a conversion coefficient 2.45, a planetary two-stage transmission, panoramic windshield and rear windows, an independent spring front wheel suspension (the development of the ZIS-110 scheme) with lever shock absorbers and dependent spring rear with telescopic. Like "Seagull", ZIL-111 had electrical windows, washer windshield, transmission button control, vacuum amplifier in the brake drive, steering hydraulic power, fog lights, Receiver with automatic tuning. In addition, the car is provided for a lowered glass partition behind front seats, remote control Radio S. rear seat, hydraulic valve pushers.
In addition to the base model ZIL-111, its modification of ZIL-111 was produced with a Limousine's seven-bed body with an air conditioning installation in the cabin. This machine is severely basic by 150 kg, and its rear window is significantly less in the area.
The third type - ZIL-111B with a body of a cabriolet. It was used mainly in solemn cases: on parades, meetings of honored guests. In particular, on April 14, 1961, he followed on April 14, 1961 from the airport to the Kremlin, the first cosmonaut Yu. A. Gagarin.
Limousine ZIL-111 was a pretty heavy car: its equipped mass reached 2605 kg. He developed the greatest speed 170 km / h, accelerated from space up to 100 km / h in 23 s. Fuel consumption of this machine: control (the smallest) - 19 l / 100 km, operational - about 29 l / 100 km.
Car dimensions - under the mass and fuel consumption: length -6140 mm, width - 2040 mm, height - 1640 mm; base - 3760 mm; Wheel rinse: front - 1 570 mm, rear - 1650 mm.
Since December 1962, the ZIL-111 model gave way to a modernized ZIL-111G car with a limousine body. She has changed mainly the external design of the body, which has become more stringent. A completely different solved design of the front of the body with four headlights. The engine and chassis were the same as ZIL-111.
Preserved, in particular, the spar frame with a X-shaped cross-shaped and tires of 8.90-15 ". Change external view And the equipment of the cabin (air conditioning, decoration) made a car longer than 50 mm and heavier at 210 kg. Along with the Limousine ZIL-111G produced since 1964 and ZIL-111D convertible.

ZIL-111 - Soviet car of the highest class with "long-base sedan" bodies, "Limousine" and "Phaeton", the small series of the Likhachev plant in Moscow from 1959 to 1967.
By the end of the forties, the "main" car of the Soviet state -Zis-110 is completely outdated both externally, and technically, and no longer could fully fulfill executing functions, did not correspond to the image of the USSR as a world superpower.
In 1948, a ZIS-110m car was built with Chassis No. 5, which represented the chassis of serial ZIS-110, to which the body of more modern forms was installed - with a pontoon sidewall, stylistically similar to the "victory" or "Packard" of the 1948 model. It was just a prototype. At the factory, it was unofficially called the ZIS-111, but officially he did not mean anywhere under this name. In the early middle of the 1950s, on the design of the ZIS designer (since 1956, ZIL) Valentina Rostkova built the following sample, already on a new chassis, developed by the ZIL-A group of designers led by A. N. Osttsev (who was also the main designer of the ZIS-110), and indicated as the ZIS-111 "Moscow" (on other information, the first instances retained the chassis of the model 110). He had a more modern body, stylistically represented a compilation of various elements american cars The middle and highest class of the first half of the 1950s - preferably reminded "Cadillac", "Packard" and "Buick". The car had generalized forms and looked quite inexpressively, without the "raisin". It was built on various data from 2 to 3 copies, serial production was prepared. In 1956, the car was exhibited at the VDNH (then the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition - VCV), without providing special interest in the public. Moreover, by this time he already lagged behind new american modelswhich by the 1955 model year changed sharply external design. Understanding this, the plant's management has set work on a car on the competitive basis. The proposals were made by many, the most notable were two of them - almost ready for the serial release of "Moscow" Rostkova and the project of a third-party designer - Lion Eremeev with "GAZ", who had previously worked on the "winged", and in parallel - over the Volga GAZ-21 and the project "WINDER 13", which later became a "seagull". The Eremeyev project was recognized as more promising, and in 1956 a spacious layout of plasticine was ready. Competitor Eremeeva - Rostkov - the plant by this time left, failed to accept his defeat.
Comparison with foreign counterparts.
Zil was constantly purchased for studying the samples of foreign, mainly North American, middle-top class cars. So, only in the period corresponding to the development of models ZIL-111 and 111g, 1950 Buick Roadmaster, 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan (in the "coupe" and "cabriolet"), 1953 Buick Special, 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood 75, 1953 were purchased and studied. lincoln Cosmopolitan, 1953 Chrysler Imperial Crown Limousine, 1956 Packard Caribbean Convertible, 1956 Packard Patrician 400 1956 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 1956 Chrysler Imperial Crown Limousine, 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 1960 Mercury Montclair, 1960 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe, 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood 75. Subsequently, most of them were transferred to further study in us. This practice allowed the factory team to constantly be aware of the latest trends of American design and technical thought.
Back side Such awareness was sometimes direct following foreign counterparts in the choice of technical and stylistic solutions of their own products. As a result, with completely excellent dimensions, proportions and mechanical basis, the external design of the Eremeevsky "111st" "ZIL" -A generally represented the development of the stylistic theme of the models of the American company Packard 1955-56, albeit with significant changes. At that time in the USSR, in the years of the formation of the Soviet auto incorporation, the similarity with foreign model considered prestigious; In addition, the objectively "Packard" of all American cars of those years looked the most strictly and for its class, perhaps most modernly - unlike the modernized bodies of old samples "Lincoln" and "Cadillac" in 1955, or "Imperial "- Top models of Chrysler Corporation. Compared to the "Packard" models, "ZIL" was more in all dimensions, looked much stricter and "square", with the hidden lines, had a more complex and detailed decor. Subsequently, based on the same stylistic scheme of fin design with "visors" above the headlights and rear lamps and other distinctive features The same Lev Eremeev will also create the appearance of the "Seagulls" of GAZ-13 (1958), which already externally distant from the "Pakcard". Early developments had a different design, but subsequently it was changed for more compliance of the 111st "ZIL" -U - the flagship of Soviet automotive industry. However, the authorities such similarity of the models of large and top class were perceived as a violation of the established type of representative car. If "winters" and in size, and in terms of the number of cylinders, the "ZIS" was inferior, and the design was very different from him, then the "seagull" and externally, and according to the characteristics close to ZIL-111. Therefore, in 1962, the modification of ZIL-111G with a changed decoration of the front, which (on one of the versions - by the wishes of Khrushchev) actually imitated latest models Firms "Cadillac", and an inexpressive tail part with four round lamps.
In general, the stylistic scheme of the "Pakcards" of those years did not receive much widespread dissemination even in the framework of the American auto industry (the company "Pakcard" soon merged with the "Studeker", produced his models with his nameplate, and in 1958 the production of cars under this brand was stopped) that only once again emphasized the similarity with them soviet carsAlthough subsequently, such or similar design had for several model years, Mercury, Lincoln, and Plymouth, as well as a number of European models (for example, Ford Taunus 17m).
Design features of the project.
The design of ZIL-111 had all the usual attributes of American middle-top class cars in the mid-1950s: large panoramic stool, frame chassis with an independent spring front wheel suspension and spring dependent rear, V-shaped eight-cylinder engine (its deformed version was installed on ZIL-130, 131) a large working volume - almost 6 liters, automatic box Transmissions with a hydrotransformer (for the design of the design of the PowerFlite of the company Imperial), power steering, multi-mounted system drum brakes With cascading scheme amplifiers, automatic (electric) drive of windows, and so on. In 1959, the modification of ZIL-111A went to the series, equipped with the Soviet air conditioning installation. Externally from the base ZIL-111, he was distinguished rear glass significantly smaller size. In 1960, the manufacture of Phaeton ZIL-111B began with small series. A large seven-party car had a tent with automatic hydraulic drive and four side lifting windows in chrome-plated frames that are completely retaining in the door. Awning, like the phaeton ZIS-110b and the ZIS-110B cabriolet, was covered with a decorative leather cover.
Modernization.
Oriented by the transferred American automotive models of the fifties, which was characterized by causing dimensions, abundance of chrome decor, multicolor color, powerful engines and very fast (every two or three years) update model RowMade ZIL-111 morally outdated by early sixties. It took urgent modernization.
The result of modernization was ZIL-111G. He had dual headlights, round rear lights, and changed form windshield, sweat-shaped side moldings, more powerful engine.
On the basis of ZIL-111G, several open parade phaetons were also built. Restyling Faeton received the ZIL-111D index, the first copy was collected in early 1963.
Soon, a few more open ZIL-111D was collected, four of which were intended for May Day and October celebrations.
According to the Museum of AMO "ZIL", the total number of edged Paradinary Phaetons ZIL-111D amounted to eight pieces.
For the first time, new parade phaetons appeared on Red Square on November 7, 1967 at the parade in honor of the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. At the same time, the first game of new new batch has already been collected on "ZIL"-. passenger cars The highest class ZIL-114, which was replaced by ZIL-111.
In total from 1959 to 1967, 112 cars of the ZIL-111 family were collected.
Historical facts.
- At ZIL-111V on April 14, 1961, he arrived from the airport to the Kremlin, the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
- Sil-Blue Phathons ZIL-111D participated in military parades until the mid-70s, when ZIL-117V's short-passable convertibles were replaced.
- On April 30, 1963, "ZIL" visited Fidel Castro. On behalf of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushcheva, he was donated by ZIL-111B.
- After writing off, some cars were transferred to the wedding palaces where wedding celebrations served. In the film "Lonely a hostel" (1983) is shown by the playing of this role ZIL-111G.
