Inspired by Packard?

No way. The front is Chevy/Cadillac, and the rear is strictly Chevrolet. I'm no authority on ZILs, but I'm just sayin'.4.249.186.143 17:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- You're looking at restyled 111G. Basic 111 could be as well regarded as some '1955 Packard, but I have no sources to tell it. Russian sources admit, that it was inspired in general by a bunch of bought US cars, including Packards, Cadillacs and Imperials, but don't name its obvious Packard styling.
