I do not know the name of the body style, it has a flexible textile folding roof but fixed side window frames. Perhaps you call it semi-convertible.

Obviously, the item in question is simply a radio antenna. On your semi-vert ZIS, there is no choice but to locate the aerial on the A pillar, as the conventional center location found on your hard top is unavailable! Posted on: 2012/4/17 21:35

The radio antenna in the first picture is on the left pillar (in the direction of travel) - just like all the other (original) car radio antennas for ZIS convertibles. Sorry for the bad picture quality. picture source: Stalin Motor Works Attach file:   (30.97 KB) Posted on: 2012/4/17 22:00
