USSR"s cars

That grille-shape of that Body concept reminds me a bit of those old Austin Healey's.

How about the ZIL? To my understanding, they still make them too. According to a recent issue of Automobile Magazine: "The factory ... builds about twenty limousines a year. Big enough to be mistaken for aircraft carriers, they cost $300,000 and have 7.8-liter V-8 engines." (Automobile, October 2005, p. 84)



And check out the "Moscow exotic cars festival, 2004":
