I doubt that there is anything in that building pictured above. But if a Zis can be converted into a U boat or other diving apparatus then maybe a little trek to a lagoon near Lake Toplitz mite be very interesting.

Keith, why do I get the impression that we all live in a yellow submarine..

But I am left wondering why you didn't breathe a word about that golden girl above? Are you getting old(er)?

One can't go wrong with this. It is an old Soviet propaganda brochure and has been published by the Soviet Military Administration for the occupied Western Territories. To get it I cheated at cards. There it is in black and white that invariably all of the Packard employees suffered from dire living conditions and when they came to the plant at 4 o'clock in the morning they have been received with sinister grunt. Diametrically opposite the life of Soviet ZIS auto workers. Beautiful girls, brimming over with life, were waiting at the gate to join in singing the chorus of overflowing oil happiness.

We had usual ZIS and armored ZIS and even ZIS with four wheel drive, sometimes open sometimes not. A station wagon, a race car ... once we talked about ambulances, we even talked about black ambulances and additional a draisine drove through PackardInfo. Was there something else?

Sure! How about an ambulance train? Eastern legend or reality?

Reality. Eastern reality.

Once upon a time in America ...

It is, if not as old as the world, at least as old as the world the most of us know by own observation. Even 1948, that means 63 years ago, people discussed the similarities of Packards and ZIS's, their degree of variance and equality and the genesis of Soviet Packards. In March 1948 the LIFE magazine published a photograph showing bitter altercations in Prague. Weeks later a couple of letters from readers contained statements on the pictured car.
