Joel -
As "Forum Ambassador", I felt compelled to reply to your comment:

Actually if this site is a reference for Packard enthusists then just because a non Packard car is similar doesn't mean it should be part of the site.
...regardless of who it was directed at.
Your statement suggests a position that these cars don't belong at
PackardInfo, though the "ZIS, ZIL, and other Packard Cousins!" forum was added, here, at the request of more than one person - followed by a folder of same name in the Photo Archive. Maybe, I'm reading too much into your comment, but I've already received questions about it, privately.
The reason I bring up PAC is that their homepage advises that club is:
Quote:
...dedicated to the enjoyment, maintenance, and accurate restoration and preservation of the products and history of The Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan..."
...which I believe echoes their official mission statement.
Yet, that club has published several articles regarding the ZIS/ZIL and Chaika over the years - in both their monthly newsletter and quarterly magazine, and under more the one editor. Though I haven't been a member of that club in several years, I don't recall a single negative "Letter to the Editor" about one of those pieces.
