ZIS-110 in Romania

Acum cateva luni am aratat poze cu ZIS-110 in 1949. Cate ceva mai recent...

ZIS-110, in varianta deschisa si inchisa, usor inspirat dupa Packard 1942, a reprezentat elita aboluta a masinilor in perioada 1948-1960 in Romania. Foarte putine au existat, toate fiind masini oficiale. Dupa circa 1964 au inceput sa dispara din coloanele oficiale, masina principala fiind inlocuita de Cadillac.

1) In 1962
2) In 1961
3) Cu ocazia funeraliilor Mariei Tanase, 1963
4) Cu ocazia unei visite din Cehoslovakia, 1961
5) In fata Ateneului, 1953
6) Ce pare a fi singurul supravietuitor in Romania
7) Pentru amatori feroviari ... drezina lui Dej in 1960. (Adica, nu drezina din Sinaia / Fetesti, care o zi a fost lui Dej, alta a fost lui Pauker, alta e drept Volga....) in 1960
8) O drezina similara la Borsec in 1997 - nu stiu daca mai e sau nu.

In 1966 un ZIS-110 decapotabil era folosit ca masina de filmare la Televiziune ... Promit imagini.











Several months ago I wrote about ZIS-110 limousines in Romania. So now, some more...

Between 1948 and about 1960, the ZIS-110, in open or closed variants, its lines somewhat inspired by the 1942 Packard, was the absolute height of luxury in Romania. All of the few existing were official, and all strictly for VIPs only. From about 1964 they began to disappear from official motorcades and were relegated to secondary uses, the lead car being replaced by a Cadillac.

1) In 1962
2) In 1961
3) At Maria Tanase's funeral, 1963
4) At an official Czechoslovakian visit, 1961
5) In front of the Athenaeum, 1953
6) Probably the only survivor in Romania
7) Converted into a draizine for the use of Gheorghe Gheorghiu Dej, in 1960
8) A similar draisine in Borsec in 1997 - no idea whether this still exists.

In 1966, one convertible was being used as a film car by Romanian television ... Pictures exist, and I will post them.
