A soviet era Gaz-14 Chaika limousine rumoured to have been a gift to Castro from Khrushchev. The car is now used as a Cuban tourist taxi in Havana.


About 1100 of the Russian GAZ 14 Chaika limousines were built from October 1977 to 1988 by the Gorky Automobile Plant for use by senior Soviet communist party officials, the KGB and also by Fidel Castro himself. This decommissioned example from the Cuban presidential fleet was photographed on a central Havana street corner and is now primarily used as a taxi and tour vehicle.
