All-righty then, I was just awaiting positive confirmation! Here's our next classic auto... or at least part of it!




Have fun guys!!

That would be a Soviet ZIS-101A-Sport.

"1939", to be precise.

Have you figured out my secret??? Hmmm... Absolutely right, and fast too!!



ZIS-101 was a limousine from Zavod Imeni Stalina. It was introduced in 1936 and was equipped with an 5.8 L (354 cu in) straight-8 engine producing 90 hp (67 kW) and giving a top speed of 115 km/h (71 mph). The car was inspired by Buick designs of the time. It was fitted with a 3 speed automatic gearbox and torque converter.
It was followed by the ZIS-101A that had improved the engine giving 110 hp (82 kW) and a new top speed of approximately 130 km/h (81 mph). Production ended in 1941.
In 1939 a two seat sport version designed by Valentin Nikolaevich Rostkov called 101-Sport was made. The engine was the same as in the 101-A, but boosted to 141 hp (105 kW) and a top speed of 162 km/h (101 mph) (although a Pravda article claims 170–180 km/h). It was however not made in more than one or two copies.

According to my Google-fu, if those are stock (and they appear to be) they are 5.6x15" bias ply tires.

You may be right but, with that tread design they look more like radials, to me.How did you discern that they were stock ?.....Roger.

The same way you discern them to be radial, Roger. :eyerole

Looks like fibreglass. Unusual grill opening. No marker lights so pre-1968. Curves look kinda familiar…

You are absolutely correct!

Beautiful car, but lacking in the build quality department.

Here are some more pictures:

Could it be an AC Ace, circa 1958 ?.....Roger.

I don't think the Ace had round tail lights...

I was hoping, that a civil question would ellicit a civil answer, Mac, oh well.....Roger.

 

[roger longman]

I think you're right, a search shows them to be rectangular and vertical. The AC Cobra, however, did have round rear lights. I guess that's the model, I should have said ......Roger.

If you perceived my answer to be less than civil, please accept my apology as I did not intend to offend you.

When it comes to you and I, it seems like whatever I post, you either disagree, get offended or both. :ugh

I wasn't offended. Sorry if that's the way it appeared. Am I not allowed to disagree with you, does it cause distress ?......Roger.
