Dave, without the knowledgeable comments of yours and others this thread would look like many deadly boring car threads in the web: pictures of radiator grilles in series. Cordial thanks for giving structure and background.
Assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, in my experience less than 5% of Packards in the successor states of the former CCCP are postwar cars. That is very easy to explain. The overwhelming majority of Soviets Packards are war booty. A statement about the proportion between survived junior and senior cars of the 1930s is much more difficult. Despite of insufficient generalizability I estimate the ratio of 80:20.
Below a pic of a Moby Dick, stranded in Moldova, a godforsaken area, wartorn and poor.
