The article is in Russian, but it has a lot of photos. This minibus was actually produced, and 7 items total were built. // Targi 15:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

The pictured car is actually ZIL-111G (ЗиЛ-111Г), which is a modification produced later. Compare:

Inspired by Packard?

edit

"The styling was inspired by the mid-1950s Packard, a United States...."

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)Reply

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.
