Hmmm. Earlier I was called on the carpet for some imagined subtle distinction between "lot of ZIS" and "some ZIS". Not sure what that was all about (actually I AM sure what it was about) but I'll just say and show a bit more on this matter.
While I certainly do not proclaim to be a ZIS or ZIL or Chaika world class expert, I have been collecting information and photos and other items on these cars since the 1950s. I certainly don't know everything about them, but I do know one when I see it. And I know a Packard when I see one.
And while I never said in any of my postings that this vehicle is a ZIS, I have always suspected it is a ZIS chassis and front clip with a Packard body sitting kittywhampus on the frame. I guess "lot of ZIS" and "some ZIS" being stated has some high importance, even if that importance is not empirically obvious.
Anyway just to show I do have just a pittance of knowledge on the subject. Here is just a sampling of photos, news clippings and a Russian book I have in my collection of ZIS and ZIL items...
