The Museum of Retro Cars in Zaporizhzhia is a unique attraction that will be of interest to both adults and children. Here you can see more than 60 models of vintage cars, created in the 20-60's of the 20th century. Many of the cars that are not accessible to visitors are being renovated by the museum's masters. The exhibition halls of the museum cover an area exceeding 1000 square meters. This is a truly unique feature of this Zaporozhye landmark. A truly legendary technique is housed in the vast territory of the museum.
When you visit the Museum of Retro Cars in Zaporozhye, you will get acquainted with a private collection of rare vehicles — local and foreign brands. Many of them have been restored by members of a car club called Phaeton. Elegant, powerful and unique retro-car models will stand out in all their glory. Here you will come face to face with the famous Dodge, Ural-Zis, Willis, the legendary Katyusha and many others. All the cars are on the go. They have more than once participated in car shows.
Among the rare exhibits of the museum is the GAZ-AA of 1935 — the oldest Ukrainian truck, popularly known as the "Polutorka". The king of cars here is the old Opel, perfectly restored after considerable damage. It is said that before the repair, it looked like a sieve. Katyusha or ZIS-6 is one of the main attractions of the museum. In our country you can no longer find such a machine in working order.
The department, reporting on the Great Patriotic War, decorates the main car of the Red Army — ZiS-5 or "Tritonka" among common people. It was restored in an interesting way. The machine was exchanged for KAMAZ parts at one of Kherson's collective farms. The museum also has a so-called "Morgunovka", which the hero of the famous Soviet movie "Operation I" could easily deploy during exciting events. In addition, you can see other retro cars, shown in the films "Star" and "At Nameless Height".
The Museum of Retro Cars isn't famous with only a collection of rare cars, but also an exhibition of two-wheeled vehicles — motorcycles and mopeds. You can also see the toy models here, as well as the pedal-equipped baby cars.

Attention! Part of Ukraine was occupied during Russia's unfounded military aggression against us and other democratic countries!
russia is a terrorist country, russians are murderers, thieves and rapists.
Russia's unhuman aggression against Ukraine since 2014 has led to the loss of homes and lives not only of many Ukrainians, but also of citizens of other countries and nationalities.
We consider any military actions against any state in the 21st century unacceptable and stupid, but unfortunately the Russians do not think so, and therefore many democratic countries, including Moldova, Georgia and our homeland, suffer from barbaric aggression.
Therefore, until the occupied parts of Ukraine are demilitarized and returned to our state, we remind users about the real danger of visiting the territories occupied by russia.
