The 110 was developed from the reverse engineering of a 1942 Packard Super Eight[1] during 1944. The first five prototypes were completed by August 1945. It was powered by a 6-litre, straight 8-cylinder engine, producing 140 hp (104 kW) and giving a top speed of over 140 km/h (87 mph). It was made in both sedan and convertible versions.
The ZIS was rumored to use machinery from the Packard 180 assembly line which was sent to the USSR after American production ended. However, according to The Fall of the Packard Motor Car Company,[2] there is no evidence whatsoever in the Packard archives of such a transfer. Moreover, as one of the main results of the collection of information and material of Bert Hein, there can be many current opinions within the car literature disproved.[3] The database includes, in addition to some pictures of commissars with Packards, a registry of existing cars and information about all ZIS versions, but particularly a point to point comparison between the products of Packard and ZIS. Therefore more likely that the top commissars, including Joseph Stalin, owned several Packards and wanted their first effort at a luxury car to be based on what is arguably one of the top cars of the 1940s.
These cars were often given away as gifts to foreign communist leaders such as Chinese leader Mao Zedong and North Korean premier Kim Il-sung. After Stalin, the ZIL 110 c cabriolet was used as a parade car for Nikita Khrushchev and this model was also gifted to Enver Hoxha, the lifelong president of Albania. Ho Chi Minh, the first president of North Vietnam, also received one (most likely from the Soviet Union), which can be seen on display on the grounds of his former residence in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.
Production ended in 1958, with total of 2,089 cars made.[4]

Der ZIS-110 (russisch ЗИС-110) ist eine Oberklasselimousine des sowjetischen Herstellers Sawod imeni Stalina (kurz ZIS). Das Fahrzeug wurde ab 1942 als Nachfolger des ZIS-101 entwickelt und nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ab 1946 in Serie gefertigt. Aufgrund der Entstalinisierung hießen die Limousinen ab 1956 ZIL-110, so wie auch das Werk in Moskau in Sawod imeni Lichatschowa umbenannt wurde. Die Produktion lief bis 1958, in dieser Zeit wurden etwa 2100 Stück ZIS-110 bzw. ZIL-110 in verschiedenen Varianten hergestellt. Optisch ist der Wagen dem Packard 180 des Modelljahres 1942 nachempfunden. Es handelt sich aber weder um eine exakte Kopie noch um einen Nachbau auf amerikanischen Produktionsanlagen, wie es beim Vorgänger teilweise der Fall gewesen war. Nachfolger wurde der ZIL-111.- [en] ZIS-110

La ZIS 110 est une limousine soviétique, produite entre 1946 et 1958 sur les chaînes moscovites de la Zavod Imeni Stalina (aujourd’hui appelée ZIL). Malgré ses origines Packard, elle était la voiture préférée de Staline.[it] ZIS-110
La ZIS-110 è un'autovettura full-size prodotta dalla Zavod Imeni Stalina (che più tardi diventerà Zavod Imeni Lichačëva) dal 1946 al 1958. Del modello ne venne realizzata dal 1946 al 1947 una versione blindata per Stalin a cui fu dato il nome di ZIS-115. Entrambi i modelli montavano il medesimo propulsore.[ru] ЗИС-110
ЗИС-110 — советский легковой автомобиль высшего и представительского класса Завода имени Сталина, первый послевоенный автомобиль автопрома СССР. ЗиС-110 сменил на конвейере ЗИС-101. Производство началось в 1945 году и закончилось в 1958 году, когда его, в свою очередь, заменил ЗИЛ-111. 26 июня 1956 года завод, по приказу Н. С. Хрущёва, в рамках борьбы правительства с т. н. «Культом личности Сталина» в народе, получает имя И. А. Лихачёва — и автомобиль переименовывается в ЗиЛ-110, а с 1958 года данный класс автомобилей становится привелегированным: прекращается их массовое изготовление и они не допускаются для использования кем-либо, кроме лиц из высшего руководства страны. Таким образом, модель «110» является последней массовой серийной моделью данного класса, которая не была ограничена в своём применении и была доступна для граждан, вне зависимости от занимаемой ими должности[1]. Всего выпущено 2089 экземпляров всех модификаций.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
