Make zil. How ZIL limousines are made

The compressor is a universal device that is widely used not only in the automotive industry, but also in production. In order to save money and not purchase expensive equipment, some craftsmen are trying to create a ZIL compressor on their own.

Device

The compressor is a two-cylinder piston type device. Its principle of operation is to pump air through the movement of pistons. The compressor device consists of:

• wire crankcase with channels;
• gland;
• springs;
• sealant.

The pistons are made of aluminum and equipped with pins that are secured with retaining rings. Through the inlet valves, the air in the engine air filter enters the compressor cylinders. It is compressed by pistons and enters the pneumatic system. Then it passes through the delivery valves, which are located in the cylinder head.

Cooling system

The engine has a liquid cooling system of a closed type. It consists of: radiator, thermostat, pump, temperature sensor, compressor and pipe. It works on the principle of forced circulation of cooling. If the liquid in the system overheats, then it is necessary to open the radiator cap. When it is opened, a jet of hot water is ejected from the neck. Therefore, this must be done carefully.

Lubrication system

The lubrication system is combined. The lubricant comes from the lubrication unit of the motor system and cools down with the help of the coolant.

Characteristics

Detailed description of the Zilovsky compressor. Specifications:

• productivity - 210 l;
• working volume - 214 cm³;
• cylinder size - 60 mm in diameter;
• cylinder - 2 pcs.;
• power consumption - up to 21.1 kW;
• rotation frequency - 2000 rpm;
• internal pressure of the pneumatic system - 740 kPa;
• warranty period - 6 months.

How to make a compressor with your own hands

Do-it-yourself device is made on the basis of the Zilovsky compressor. If it is designed to perform small tasks, then the alteration of the compressor will be minimal. Its refinement is carried out if the device is planned to be used for a long time and with heavy loads. From the materials you will need:

• engine;
• receiver;
• manometer;
• safety valve.

Customizing is a popular direction in the work of auto and motorcycle enthusiasts, which appeared in the West and eventually reached our country.

The first custom was assembled on the basis of motorcycles, but now cars are increasingly becoming “patients” of masters.

Moreover, the cars are often completely reworked, or better to say, absolutely unique copies are created on the basis of old cars, both in terms of appearance and internal content. Custom, no matter whether it is a bike or a car, cannot be confused with anything - this allows the owner of such a unit to show his individuality.

A prominent representative of automotive customization can be called ZiL - a pickup truck, the author of which is Roman (DrBroman) from Moscow. So, meet: tuning ZIL 130 - a pickup truck from an old truck.

The project of building a pickup truck from the old ZIL-130

It is worth noting that this is not the first project of the author, in front of him was a pickup truck on the “Volgovskaya” base in the combined styles of Chevrolet El Camino and Ford Ranchero. Unfortunately, the project was not completed due to problems with the engine supplier for the car. After him, Roman turned up a full-size van Ford E-250, which became a donor for ZiL.

Ford's dimensions are approximately 6 meters in length and slightly longer than two meters, with a gross weight of more than four tons. The car is equipped with a 4.2-liter engine with an automatic transmission, the units and the body are mounted on a serious spar frame.

pickup cab

The cabin was used from ZIL 131, in the northern version (former polar drilling station). The fitting showed that the cabin refuses to get into its proper place, so the author had to subject it to a big alteration. The bottom and power structures of the cabin were redone, in addition, the pedal mount was moved 150 millimeters forward.

Zil-130 the very beginning of the project

It was decided to use the box formed as a result of the reconstruction as a container for multimedia systems, and the subwoofer also found its place there. On top of the box is closed with an aluminum lid, on which there is an armrest with a glove box and places for glasses.

The instrument panel was taken from an American donor, the glass was removed from it and the dimensions of the case were changed to fit the Zilovsky panel, after which the protection from the plex was cut out, and the entire structure was installed in a regular place in the ZiL cabin.
The front bumper is homemade, of peculiar angular shapes. The basis of the bumper is a spatial welded structure made of a square tube, sheathed with sheet metal. Fangs brought to the desired shape are attached to the bumper - an integral attribute of ZiL. Decorative moldings are installed on the front side of the bumper.

The original fenders of the truck were redesigned and welded to the body

To make the cab look more like an American pickup truck, the front fascia and fenders were carefully fitted and then welded together. After that, the welds and other surfaces were puttied and polished.

Frame and suspension

The frame from Ford was shortened, for this, pieces were cut out of it and parts of the spars were welded back, reinforcing elements were laid along the welds. The frame has been cleaned of rust and painted orange.

Ford E-250 donor frame has been shortened

According to the length of the frame, the cardan and the fuel tank had to be shortened. The cardan was cut on a lathe and the fitted parts were welded into a single whole. As a result of the alteration, the tank lost about fifty liters of volume and now holds about 90 liters, however, the author believes that this is quite enough.

In the suspension, the springs were cut and the spring earrings were redone, as a result of which the car “squatted” by half a meter (along the cab) when compared with the height of the original ZIL.
The wheels have classic-patterned alloy wheels and are 305/55R20.

Engine and exhaust

Initially, the new pickup truck used a native engine from a donor car, a V-shaped gasoline six with a volume increased to 4.2 liters. Now installed Mopar 5.2 Magnum V8 with a capacity of 500 hp.

The exhaust system is made simply and in an original way - two pipes with a diameter of 63 mm, made of stainless steel, enter the muffler with a diameter of 76 mm. The difference in the length of the pipes allows the engine to make a characteristic booming sound at low speeds.

Body

The body and rear fenders were made of sheet metal, then puttied and painted. The wings have an incomparable shape, it should be noted that the author did his best, the design turned out to be very successful in terms of design. The rear bumper carries EuroFUR lights framed by a rubber molding.

Tuning ZIL 130 is far from over

Work on the car is not finished yet, the author has big plans for the future, but in the form that he has now, the custom makes an amazing impression. All lines are verified, finishing details and optics look like native ones. Yes, and the driving characteristics of the car are enviable. I would like to wish Roman good luck in the ongoing work on the car, and let it show itself from the best sides!

Car customization is simply limitless, in a creative way, the direction of tuning. Popular on the territory of North America, over time, "has come" to the expanses of our boundless homeland.

Motorcycles became the first patients in customizing, and now, having “trained” their hand in working on two-wheeled iron horses, the masters turned their “interested” look at cars. And this is where it started. A huge number of styles and trends have appeared, the goal of which is to create an absolutely unique car.

Often, cars are so much transformed that it is rather difficult to recognize the resulting car in place of the old one. We can say that on the basis of the conveyor machine they create something unique, absolutely new and inimitable, both in terms of the appearance of the car and in the internal equipment. Custom is a unique phenomenon that is difficult to confuse with something else. Custom is a tool that can help a motorist to show all his originality and individuality to the maximum.

Of extreme interest can be the transformation of an old and outdated truck into a fashionable pickup truck. And ZIL 130 is perfect for this.

In 1956, the legend of the Soviet automobile industry, the ZiL 130, was born. Reliable working machines, it had a load capacity of four tons, a powerful one hundred and thirty strong engine and a displacement of five and two liters. True, these characteristics revealed shortcomings in the form of weak dynamic qualities that did not allow the car to serve as a tractor.
Two years later, factory engineers changed the 6-cylinder unit to a V-th with 8 cylinders. This made it possible to increase the power by twenty horsepower. The improvements did not end there, a new block of cylinders was installed in the updated car, located in relation to each other at an angle of ninety degrees. All this allowed the ZiL to become an even more powerful vehicle designed to transport multi-ton cargo, and eliminate the past drawback, now the car perfectly coped with the role of a tractor.

ZIL 130 tuning

Customizing means that you will most likely have to have more than one car to create a new Custom. For example, Ford components, in particular the Ford E-250, are excellent for our native Zilka. Ford has always been distinguished by high-quality parts, powerful engines, a solid and strong frame. An excellent donor for a well-deserved ZiL upgrade over many years of work.

Yes, and it is worth noting that combining the dimensions of Ford and ZiLi is not a big problem. Let's consider in more detail. Donor Ford has a length of about six meters. The mass of this device is a little bit six tons. The car is equipped with a 4.3-liter engine with an automatic transmission. All components and the body itself are installed on a solid and strong spar frame.

pickup cab

The classic ZiL cabin, with a high probability, will not fall into its “native” place after the changes made, so you will have to measure everything and calculate how to remake its waters with new realities. Often it is necessary to redo the bottom of the cabin, to strengthen the load-bearing structures. You may need to make more significant changes, such as moving the pedal mount. This is only part of the design innovations. It is possible that for your specific goal you will have to change a lot more, and more serious things.
As a result of all the reconstruction, new cavities are often formed, which are converted into boxes for various purposes. Such as, for example, a place for a multimedia installation, or a subwoofer. This box can be decorated, depending on the place in the cabin. For example, to make a functional armrest out of it, with a pleasant coating, say leather, and a cup holder. Or a decorative glove box closed with an aluminum lid and finished with wooden elements on top.

The instrument panel will be more interesting to take from a North American donor. After working a little with tools, remove the protective glass from it, and “undermine” the panel under the Zilovsky panel. You can also install improved illumination to the devices, thereby increasing driving comfort. Later, fabricate the plexi guard and install the "new" panel in place. So, without much effort, you ennoble your car with a charismatic and functional dashboard.

Accordingly, with the efforts already expended, you should not disregard the “face” of the car, that is, the front bumper. As a basis, take a welded structure on square pipes. Whether you weld it yourself, or order it from professionals, it will not play a big role, the main thing is its presence. Sheathe this structure with sheet metal for greater reinforcement. On the almost made bumper, install the visiting card of all Zils, namely their “fangs”, because ZIL will cease to be ZIL without them, this is their integral part. We also recommend installing decorative moldings on the front of the bumper.

To further express the American style in our future pickup truck, the front fascia and fenders are very carefully fitted and welded together. Seams must be properly processed, puttied and sanded. With each operation done, the car becomes more and more spectacular, the main thing is not to give up in case of failures and continue to work on your car.

You may have to shorten the frame of the donor car a little. If this happens, then do not forget to strengthen the frame with reinforcing elements along the welds. The frame itself should be thoroughly cleaned from traces of corrosion and painted in the future color of the car.

As a result of shortening the frame, if this was the case, it will be necessary to reduce the length of the universal joint and replace the fuel tank with a new one of a suitable size, or shorten the old one. Cardan should be shortened on a lathe. We advise you to contact specialists in this matter, it is quite difficult to do everything right without proper experience. Further, the processed and fitted parts of the cardan are welded and installed in place. Due to a significant reduction in the original size, the regular Zilovsky tank loses a decent volume, and instead of the factory one hundred and forty liters, it has about ninety. However, for him, ZiL, this new incarnation should be enough.

Since the standard ZiL suspension makes the car extremely high, this height should be somewhat reduced by changing the height of the springs and changing the design of the springs. Thus, it will be possible for you to choose a height that is convenient for you.

Replace standard wheels by choosing wheels and tires in car dealerships, since the choice of those is simply huge, everything is limited only by your funds.

Do not forget about such an important part as the exhaust system. If you want to make an aggressive car with a growling sound, we can advise you to make an exhaust system yourself in a very simple and quite original way. For example, let's take a pair of pipes with a diameter of sixty-three millimeters, the material is stainless steel. These pipes enter the muffler, whose diameter is seventy-six millimeters. The resulting difference in the length of the pipes makes the engine sound very interesting at low speeds.

The rear fenders and bodywork were made from piece metal sheets, followed by a puttying and painting process. Moreover, thanks to the metal and its properties, you can set the shape of the wings yourself, while creating unique design solutions. On the rear bumper, install the lights that suit your shape and stylistic idea, simply by cutting a hole of the required shape in the bumper itself. Install rubber moldings on the bumper for greater effect.

This is just a small part of the changes that you can make with ZiL, the legend of the Soviet car industry. The limit in tuning is only your imagination. Keep it up and you will surely succeed!

Domestic automakers at one time offered buyers a lot of different models. Many of them are found on the roads today. True, some options have already undergone changes from the car owners themselves. One of the most popular domestic car brands is considered to be ZIL. Tuning these trucks is a common and far from rare thing. And if you can agree with their power and endurance, then the comfort leaves much to be desired. And individual models are completely difficult to operate without certain modifications. This applies to the ZIL "Bychok" truck, tuning of which is simply mandatory. And this is not surprising, given the fact that he was "blinded from what was."

Manufacturer's attempts to refine models

The production of ZIL cars began many decades ago. For example, ZIL-130 appeared in 1956. Initially, it was equipped with a 5.2-liter carbureted engine with a capacity of 130 horsepower and a load capacity of 4 tons. But tests have shown that the truck lacks certain qualities, one of which is dynamics. Therefore, the manufacturer decided to refine the ZIL car. Tuning affected the power unit, which was completely replaced. The new engine had a capacity of 150 horsepower. Thanks to the new elements, the car has become more load-bearing and enduring.

Attempts to correct the flaws also affected the ZIL-5301 (better known as the "Bull"). Initially, an engine from tractors, a cab from previous models, a gearbox from ZIL-130 were used for its production. The truck was assembled as a constructor, but the developers no longer had time to test it. Therefore, the owners of ZIL cars carry out tuning with their own hands.

Manufacturers have made an attempt to change the "Bull". This modification received the index ZIL-53012. The idea was to combine our own developments with imported equipment. As a result, a cab and a platform from ZIL cars were installed on the chassis from the Mercedes 709D.

What can be changed?

ZIL car tuning (the photo of which can be seen in this article) most often consists of the following steps:

• Frame reinforcement.
• Engine replacement.
• Salon refinement.
• Increasing comfort.

This is a fairly general list of work performed. More specific methods depend on the desire and capabilities of the car owner. In addition, it is necessary to build on the model of the truck, which must undergo tuning. Let's take a closer look at three of them: ZIL-130, ZIL-131 and ZIL-5301.

Upgrade level

Tuning may include a different number of modifications performed. Depending on this, three degrees are distinguished:

• Cosmetic - small changes that consist in installing additional elements (headlights, a visor, moldings, a radiator grille, a kenguryatnik, and so on), body painting and airbrushing, and equipping with a modern audio system.
• Medium - aimed at increasing the level of comfort in the cabin, improving the exhaust system, transmission and other individual parts of the motor.

• High - in addition to the work already described, the technical characteristics of the truck are improving (fuel consumption, power, handling, speed, and others).

These improvements can apply to any of the models.

Tuning ZIL-130

The first thing that undergoes tuning is the interior. The high noise level does not make you feel comfortable. Therefore, the cabin is protected by noise and vibration isolation. After that, pay attention to the seats. If it is not possible to replace them with others equipped with a pneumatic system, it will be enough to replace the upholstery. Native seats are covered with leatherette, which is not very pleasant to sit on.

Some amateurs choose the Ford E-250 pickup as a donor. To complete the interior, they take it from him, which is customized to fit the domestic panel. All this is diluted with improved lighting. Install an audio system and good speakers.

As for the technical side of the issue, here they pay attention to power and carrying capacity. For this purpose, the suspension elements are changed. Replacing the springs with air bags will make the movement as smooth as possible. Power is increased by replacing jets in the carburetor, boring cylinders and block heads, and replacing valves.

Change ZIL-131

This army truck is still popular today. As in other cars, changes most often affect the appearance, interior and power plant of the ZIL-131. Tuning can be conditionally divided into two types:

• When using a large number of additional elements (including chrome), lights and similar details, they speak of American-style tuning.

• ZIL-131 can also be changed in the European style, which is more typical of spoilers, kenguryatniki, engine replacement.

In both cases, chrome parts are used and the body is repainted.

Improvements "Bull"

The cabin, taken as a basis, has good dimensions. Thanks to this, there is enough space inside for several people. The cabin is warm from the native heating system. But usually the air ducts are streamlined. The engine from tractors causes a number of inconveniences associated with strong noise. And it is very difficult to defeat him. Soundproofing is laid on several sides:

• On the inside of the hood.
• On both sides of the engine cover.
• In the space under the pedals and levers.

These methods reduce but do not eliminate noise. The most reliable way is to replace the power unit. In addition, in a ZIL car, tuning affects the front brakes, wiring, and clutch. Thus, a machine with improved external and technical characteristics is obtained.

On the Internet, I accidentally discovered a wonderful work of a futuristic pickup truck based on the ZIL-130, made by Vladislav Luzin and published on the Render.ru resource. Despite the fact that the painted pickup truck was only a part of Vladislav's imagination, similar domestic light trucks still existed. Today's story will be about the history of experimental ZIL trucks, better known under the nickname "Cheburashka".

When testing in 1958 a new executive class car ZIL-111, there was a need for an accompanying high-speed truck for transporting fuel, spare parts and technical equipment. Since the trucks existing at that time could slightly exceed the speed of 50 km / h, a lightning-fast idea arose to create a small light truck with a payload capacity of 600-700 kg, capable of speeds commensurate with the ZIL-111 limousine (120-140 km / h). It would take considerable time to create such a revolutionary truck from scratch, so they did it easier by installing a cargo platform and a cab from the truck on the limousine frame.

A truck capable of driving on equal terms with a government limousine was already made in 1959-1960. On the frame from the armored ZIS-115 (modification of the ZIS-110), a cab from the ZIS-151 and a wooden side platform with a folding tailgate were installed. A truck based on a limousine could take one and a half tons of cargo and move at a speed of 120 km / h. The truck received the state registration number 83-81 MOH. A cargo passenger car accompanied the tests until the end of the 70s. In addition to testing, the truck was used for factory transportation, in particular, it was used to deliver parts from out-of-town branches to the parent company of ZIL.

The ZIL-111 was replaced by the ZIL-114, which demanded a new passenger truck for its needs. One of the options was a pickup truck based on the ZIL-115, but probably because of the expensive body work, they abandoned it and went according to the previously proven scheme. The chassis was taken from the ZIL-114, and the cab from the ZIL-131. The cab was slightly modified by installing two additional air intakes on the hood, removing the front windshield jumper, and installing double headlights with transparent screens. The front mask was taken from a ZIL-133GYA truck. After testing the machine with a load simulator, a loading platform with dimensions of 3030x1780x1140 mm with a vinyl awning was placed on it. The curb weight of the car was 3286 kg, and the overall dimensions were 5200x2000x2200 mm. The new passenger truck was able to accelerate to 170 km / h, which was already a fantastic result for such a car.

Despite the seemingly awkward appearance: a low landing of a cargo platform, a cabin from a military truck; the light truck looked very elegant for those years. The dark cherry cab of the truck, the roof spoiler and four headlights arranged in pairs with transparent screens in front of them gave charm. Inside, it seemed like an ordinary cab from a truck, they placed a dashboard, a steering column adjustable in height and tilt, a pedal assembly, a powerful stove, a car radio and luxurious leather seats. The cabin interior hinted at family ties with executive cars.

The new car received an unofficial factory index ZIL-113G, and for its awkward elegant appearance, the car was nicknamed "Cheburashka". The car received the State registration number 06-31 MOYA, and after re-registration in the 1980s - 96-48 MNP.

The truck was so successful that in 1983-1984, two trucks based on the ZIL-4104 limousine were built for the needs of the ZIL automobile plant. For new cars, they took standard cabs without any changes from the ZIL-131, the wooden bodies were unified with the ZIL-130. The body was provided for the installation of seats for transporting people. The wooden body was 3/4 covered with an awning.

Both machines were assigned to the management of design and experimental work of the ZIL automobile plant. "Cheburashki" received the following State registration numbers: 95-50 MNP and 95-51 MNP. All three trucks were used for road tests of the passenger car workshop. In addition to testing, the vehicles were used for factory freight transportation, delivering components from factory branches in Ryazan, Roslavl, and Mtsensk. "Cheburashki" repeatedly appeared in the Kremlin, performing cargo flights there for the needs of the Special Purpose Garage (GON), in the fleet of which there were many ZIL brand limousines.

Delivering goods on the instructions of the automobile plant, passenger trucks on domestic roads constantly attracted the attention of both ordinary citizens and traffic police officers, who sometimes stopped a passenger truck just to find out the make and performance characteristics of an awkward truck that was interested in them. “Cheburashki”, due to their high speed characteristics, became legends among the owners of “Zhiguli”, “Moskvich” and “Volga”, who could not catch up with an incomprehensible truck with a well-known ZIL-131 cab that had suddenly overtaken them.

All three "Cheburashki" survived safely until the collapse of the USSR. The firstborn with a cherry cab and number 96-48 MNP was last seen at the plant in 1992, after which traces of him are lost. The car with the number 95-50 MNP was dismantled for scrap in June 2000. Only the remains of a car with the number 95-51 MNP have survived to this day, which are located on the territory of the ZIL plant in the passenger car workshop. As it is not surprising, but with the collapse of the USSR, the history of the departmental "Cheburashka" does not end ...

In the early 90s, hard times came, the plant found itself in a difficult economic situation. Demand for manufactured ZIL products has decreased significantly. On the ruins of the USSR and the cooperatives conceived back in the USSR, a new entrepreneurial life began to rapidly emerge. Small businesses were promoted and born to the fullest, for the needs of which they needed not six-ton ​​trucks, which were already in abundance in the expanses of all the former Soviet republics, but low-tonnage economical trucks adapted not for off-road, but for asphalt roads. The automobile plant headed for the creation of a new serial light truck. As a result, a rather successful ZIL-5301 “Bull” was born.

While the "Bull-calf" was being created, at ZIL, in search of a new small-tonnage vehicle, they returned to the well-proven "Cheburashkas". In 1992, at a big show at a competition to create a new light-duty truck, a car created back in the 80s with the State registration number 95-51 MNP participated. The use of very expensive components from government limousines greatly inflated the price of "Cheburashka" in mass production. Yes, and powerful engines from limousines called into question the economy of the car.

To solve this problem, another "Cheburashka" is being created at the plant. The new truck was made in March 1993. The aggregate base was taken from the five-seater ZIL-41041 sedan with a wheelbase of 3380 mm, the "Cheburashka" heart was a 150-horsepower ZIL-508.10 gasoline engine with a five-speed manual gearbox. The cab was taken from the ZIL-131, parts from the ZIL-130 and the front side from the ZIL-4331 were used in the onboard platform. The carrying capacity of the car was 2 tons, and its gross weight was 5 tons. The cargo platform was noticeably raised. Having lost a powerful engine, the car lost in speed characteristics, reaching speeds of only up to 120 km / h.

The new "Cheburashka" received the official factory index ZIL-4305. The car received a car number 50-38 sample. After some time, another "Cheburashka" was created at the plant, which probably received the ZIL-43051 index. After a competition with other competitors of the created Bull, both cars were dismantled, their fate is unknown.

Creating ZIL-4305 involuntarily thought about its appearance. The work was carried out in the direction of improving the plasticity of external forms, increasing aerodynamic characteristics, working out the front end and individual elements, while using serial cabs and a hood from ZIL-131. Since 1992, designers have begun to develop a promising look for the good old Cheburashka, presenting it, in addition to a truck with a loading platform, also in the form of a pickup truck. As a result, they managed to mold only the plasticine cabin of the future Cheburashka, but history decreed otherwise. The place of the serial light truck was taken by the semi-hooded ZIL-5301 "Bull".

But even on this, the story of the cartoon character in the domestic automotive industry does not end there. Enthusiasts built cars very much reminiscent of the very first Cheburashka. So in Kyrgyzstan, in Bishkek, an original car was created by crossing the Volga chassis, the ZIL-157 cab and the ZMZ-523 engine. The created homemade product received the original name Mad Cabin ("Mad Cabin") and became very famous after its demonstration at the Motor Show 2003 in Moscow. Unfortunately, this frenzied cabin does not have a cargo platform.

In Georgia, in Tbilisi, a similar pickup truck was already created by crossing the frame from the UAZ-452, the cab from the ZIL-157, the rear axle ZMZ-4021 engine, and the gearbox from the GAZ-24. This car already had a simple body behind the cab on a tubular frame made of tin sheet and partially lined with corrugated aluminum. The creator of the Georgian version of "Cheburashka" was Noy Sirunyan.

The culmination of home-made "cheburashkas" was a pickup truck crossed from the cab from ZIL-131 with lining and plumage from ZIL-130 and chassis from Ford E-250 (Econoline). The author of this alteration was Roman Bodnar, whose love for the legendary domestic truck grew into something more. An amazing pickup truck has been created since November 2009 in a retro workshop in the city of Zelenograd.

The chassis was taken by the author from a broken Ford E-250, the Ford 4.2 V6 engine and the Ford 4R70W automatic transmission also went from it. Cabin from ZIL-131 1976 was purchased from geologists. In the cockpit, the engine shield and the floor have been almost completely redone. The Ford f 100, 1956, was taken as the prototype of the homemade product being created. The pickup truck was shown at Autoexotica-2012, where it took 1st place in the Domestic Custom nomination, 2nd place in the Retro Custom nomination, and 3rd place at the Autoexotica-2012 Grand Prix. In the fall of 2013, Roman decided to install the Viper V10 engine. An interesting fact is that the author found out about the existence of the ZIL "cheburashki" only in the process of creating his pickup truck. The car created by Roman was named ZIL-130 SRT-10. On this, temporarily in the history of domestic automobile “cheburashkas”, you can put an end to and finish today's story, especially since the last instance described is most similar to the graphic work of Vladislav Luzin, with which this story began.
