President Franklin Roosevelt, aware of Stalin’s preference, gifted him an armored Packard of the 14th family.
First Attempt at a Soviet Armored CarIn 1932, two Buick 30-90 cars arrived in Leningrad.
The purpose was clear: to create a Soviet car that could match Western standards.
Legacy of the ZIS-115A total of 54 ZIS-115 vehicles were produced.
Armored car production halted for decades afterward, with the ZIS-115 (later ZIL-115) remaining in service until 1993.
