Welcome from a displaced Moskvic! Damn - I asked Ryan to change my SN to Russian a couple of weeks ago, but he never got around to it - looks like I'm keeping this tag for a while. I've always wondered what an ZIL would look like as a custom.

 

Welcome!! Not enough money to do what you want is not limited to your country!! Have fun.

Yeah! Me too! I'd love to see a hot-rodded and/or customized Chaika or ZIL! I visited the Soviet Union in 1980 as part of a delegation that were guests of CPSU CC - and I got to ride in both some late '70's Chaikas, and also twice, in a newer '79 or '80 ZIL. The newer ZIL was kind of an 'ersatz-Cadillac,' with kind of generic "1970's American luxo-barge" styling - but those Chaikas were things of beauty! It was by far my favourite and looked like a very slightly modernized '55 or '56 Packard! Also, during our travels around the country (Moscow, Leningrad, Minsk. Vilnuis, Kaunas) I noticed several older, obviously privately-owned cars that looked almost like copies of a '48 Buick fastback, except they were Soviet-made and weren't Buicks! I'm not sure but I think these big 'Buick-like' cars were mid-'50's-to early-60's ZIMS??? There were some other older cars, not sure of the make, that looked very similar in size and styling to a '49 or '50 "bathtub" Packard. Also, but less frequently, I saw some beautiful, "very-1940-Packard 110-like" earlier model ZILs that apparently were built from the late 1940's, right into the early 1960s!
