Zvonar's first American car was a 1970 Cadillac Seville, but his collecting began with his first BMW in 1967. His greatest loves, however, are the land yachts of Detroit's postwar heyday. Like acquiring other Western goods, it was largely a matter of whom you knew. Though easier now, the hobby is still an expensive one. People here expect hotels, they have to have them.
People just have different expectations.
Zvonar earns money by renting his cars to film and commercial productions. He takes a sip of his tea. It's his admiration for American automobile designers in the '50s and '60s. They really thought about cars, how to make them the most interesting, the best looking. Like the front of the Cadillac or the fins at the back.
