Is that a new thing to use chrome-plated cap nuts? No way this is original :)

Actually, the casting around the shaft erodes and the gap tears up the packing causing the leak. A solution is to punch a hole in some brass shim stock and glue it into place using sealer followed by the packing. Tim, thanks, very knowledgeable.

BDC, if this is what they claim it to be then it is a 1508, solely built in 1937.
But its former occupants in Moscow often claimed to be something what they weren't (truth-loving, properly elected, ...). What is wrong, the front door hinges, the bumper, wait, I believe that you especially miss the support bar behind the spare wheels. Attach file: support bar.jpg (74.60 KB)

Technically speaking nobody stated what series the car is and by the time the upfitting was completed it was likely over a year old. If Soviet registrations are based on delivery dates, then the registration could say anything.
Those tires look to be the Firestone model and I suppose can handle moving the car for display. I'm just glad to see the picture. It's awesome.

They defied the fire with solid rubber tires and spiked helmets. What steering forces were necessary to steer such a vehicle?!
