Took this picture earlier this year in Slovakia and believe it to be a Zil 117, I have seen a strectched Zil but it that had a squarer grill and is , I think, a 115. I'm not an expert so please feel free to correct me.

Don't suppose you took one of the car behind? A Tatra T613K parade landaulette ...much more interesting - haven't seen one apart from the Tatra museum's. Where was this taken?

Sorry not got a side view of the Tatra, the picture was taken at the motor museum in Bratislava in January this year.

The car in the main pic. That looks more like a GAZ Chaika 14.

Thanks for posting the 613K pic - the passenger looks like she's had a tough night!

This is a Zil 111, in the motor museum just outside Riga, in Latvia. They have included a few waxwork models with the soviet cars which would typically have been used by party officials. Here's Nikita Khrushchev standing next to the ZIL. I don't know if he was really as as short as that, or whether it's some sort of joke.....
