FWIW my edition of "Packard- A History of the Motorcar and the Company" which was bought new last year says basically what I said, that many people thought that the ZIS was made from Packard dies but that after the Soviet Union dissolved it was determined upon close examination of the car that the ZIS was a close copy of the 1942 Packard in many respects, but that it was not an exact copy such as it would have been had it been made from the original Packard body dies.

FWIW, I have seen a Packard said to have been bought by Elvis for his Daddy. Maybe he bought his Mother one too!
