And this onehttps://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/view-of-men-on-a-sidewalk-gathered-around-a-red-zis-110-news-photo/615939764?adppopup=true[/quote]

This photo was one of several taken of a ZIS that lived for a time in Southern California. It was owned by Trend, Inc. and was serviced at Earle C. Anthony's Hope Street Packard dealership facility. This ZIS was confiscated in Korea during the war there and brought to the USA.

I have numerous 8 x 10 glossy photos of this ZIS taken at ECA and around Southern California. Some even show the car up on a rack being serviced at ECA. The service manager made a report on this car and so did a journalist. I have both of the original reports. Saved them many years ago.

This ZIS was also displayed at a Petersen Motorama that was held annually at the old Pan Pacific Auditorium. It was once well-known inSoCal. I have photos of it on display there as well. One of my photos was published years ago in The Packard Cormorant magazine, the glossy magazine of The Packard Club.
