When you look at the “car park” of the national favorite, it even becomes somehow uncomfortable: no Mercedes, BMW, etc. for you. But such machines are a kind of symbol, an attribute of many folk (and not so) artists of the USSR. True, at the end of the years, a modest Volkswagen Kafer was donated.

However, Nikulin was not a passionate car enthusiast and collector of cars, like, for example, other celebrities of his generation - Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev alone is worth something! The clown and the actor even got the rights relatively late, and the impetus for this was the next (but never took place!) Role in the film “Beware of the Car”. By the way, the artist's driving practice was difficult. The author of the video on the TechnoEnot channel talks about this interestingly.
In the first possession of Nikulin, it turned out not to be any Moskvich or Zhiguli, but the whole Volga at once, and even a model that was not sold to citizens of the USSR for personal use. We are talking about the "universal" GAZ-22: the car was sold only to organizations and institutions. How Nikulin managed to buy it from one of the circuses is not very clear. After the Volga, the artist had other cars: many even attributed to him the possession of the famous convertible from the Prisoner of the Caucasus. But was it really so? Watch the video!
