JV Puleo Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 This picture was probably taken in the late 50s... It's an illustration in a book I'm editing and I was thinking it would be nice to say what the cars are in the caption...I'm pretty certain they are American ... but I confess I know practically nothing about cars after 1930..

Ozstatman Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) More likely to be Soviet built cars. Edited March 25, 2021 by Ozstatman spelling (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwellens Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The cars look like they are in the late 40"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yes. I should have thought of that. I think the ZIS 110 is most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The ZIS 110 was (apparently, obviously?) a copy of the 1942 Packard. According to Wikipedia it was manufactured until 1958, so the photo could well have been made in the late 1950's or even later. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aron_budapest Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yes this photo was made in front of the so called "parade grandstand"in Budapest Varosliget. The huge bronze Stalin statue stands the top of it till 1956 october when the revolution knocked it down. They cut the legs with flame cutter and tow with truck till it collapsed.(the statue inside reinforced with railway rail) Then only stalins boots are on the grandstand, the public language call it boot's square :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks for this piece of information. I added it to the caption of the photo - which is much larger. For this forum I just cropped around the cars but it's a photo of the entire parade lined up to be reviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
