Friends, great news! We have a new team member in the museum!Please, welcome Mikhail Ustimov, Head of the Retro Cars Garage, Head of Automotive History Research!
The museum is growing, opening new directions, exhibitions, and purchasing exhibits. The city is a major center of the domestic automotive industry – the GAZ Gorky Automobile Plant and the ZMZ Zavolzhsky Motor Plant have earned it this well-deserved title.

He is engaged in preserving the history of the domestic car industry, motor vehicle repair and restoration, its study and exhibitions. Mikhail owns a unique collection of cars and motorcycles, including both cars made by our Gorky plant and by other Soviet plants. The collection contains a GAZ-24-34 a.k.a. “Chaser”, created for the Soviet Intelligence Service, a GAZ-24-17 taxi, the legendary GAZ M-20 Pobeda, a passenger car of the 50s-70s GAZ-21, a Moskvich-400, an export Zaporozhets ZAZ-966, VAZ-2103, an extremely rare low-tonnage UAZ-450, a ZIL-130 tanker truck, a Jawa-250 motorcycle and many other fascinating retro cars, including military vehicles.
