Guest Leonard Shepherd Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Everybody has the wrong country. This was a Soviet 1960 ZIL from the brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleek Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Packard and the USSR are linked in several ways. A look at Packard history shows many examples or their technology being used in Russia, including several indications that their assembly line tooling found its way over there. I am not sure of the accuracy of the stories, but the looks of the soviet cars seems to bare out there may well be some truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I believe the myth about the Russkies using Packard tooling has been debunked by a number of Packard experts. I have an article somewhere, probably in SIA, where a guy examines a ZIL or ZIZ and though it closely resembled a Packard, all of the dimentions, body contours etc. are different.
