A lot of this vehicle is Russian ZIS 110, but there are other things, like Owen said, that appear to be genuine Packard. The rear trunk rack is obviously Packard. And I will have to look in my records to see if a ZIS 110 ever had a rear backlight split pair of windows like this one has.

I have a friend in Sweden with a ZIS 110, but his car has 6 "whisker" strips rather than the 5 shown here. Also my friend's ZIS 110 has a completely different steering wheel and meter cluster, rear window... and tail lights.

Also looks like a lightning bolt or a Star Wars laser hit the top of the left-hand rear fender!

I know both the ZIS 110 and ZIL 111 had detail changes over both of their lifespan runs. However, this one does not fit the images I have saved over many years. So, an odd hybrid duck it appears to be.
