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.

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.
