ok. so it IS possible to pass from Alaska to Russia via common wheeled land vehicle. The following are attempting the journey on 60 year old Nimbus sidecar rigs.http://www.kccd.no/home_en.html

quote from above website:
"In 2006 we took the quick trip from Oslo to Singapore. This time we'll ride from Norway through Siberia to Alaska, then down through North and South America. A boat will take us to South Africa from where we'll ride up to Europe. Time of departure is April 2009."

Not exactly Packard or Zis/Zil/Chaika related but it does give rise to new ideas about maybe going to Russia for scrounging vintage tin. Especialy for someone like me that does not like to fly nor float.
