These cars were very uncommon, when they was in production, since they built for big party bosses…
This car later acquired official name GAZ-12, but at time this plant was named “Завод имени Молотова” (Molotov auto works),so it’s simply called ZIM. Mostly high-ranked army generals used this Car.
Under hood- 90hp straight six.
GAZ-13 “Чайка (Seagull)”. Government limo. Powered by 6-liter big block V8. Just 195 horses, but torque must be respectable, because same engine used on 3-ton trucks. Car was in production 20 years,but only 3000 was built.
ZIL-111, analog of president’s limos. Have same 6-liter big block V8.
while in russia 3 years ago saw lots of trucks that had exact copies of 1956 ford truck cabs,was told ford sold the dies to rusian co. stoped one and looked under the hood the v8 was not ford does any one know what engine they used. would love to find a source for a cab. while ther the language was so hard un able to comunicat

It's a good question. As for sedan,looks like you're first.who said about Mercury. More common version - design was inspired by Packard Patrician. However,because it has torsion front suspension as well as pushbutton 3-speed automatic,I would think that powertrain design inspired by mopars

Yup, the bad boy of the late WWII-early cold war Soviet tanks. It was originally called the JS-III (or the JS-3) untill Old Josef became persona non grata after his death.

Really? I always thought the JS3 became the JS10 after Stalin died. I have never heard of a JS7. I suppose you would know coming from an area riddled with WW2 battlefields. Could you point me to some on-line info on this?

Thank you so much for a really informative and interesting link. That website has a lot of info that I haven't seen before (and that is saying a lot because I have been a tank nut for many years) and I will be sure to spend a lot of time there.
Thanks again!
